globalization and the french

“Why do I write in French? It is the possibility to belong to a culture that is not mine, not my mother tongue.” - Andreï Makine, Soviet-born writer

This is a quote that from the New York Times article "In an Age of Globalism, Pardon my French". This article touches so much on what I wrote about for my French honors thesis and I highly recommend reading it -- the article, not my thesis that is. :)
