Why ..
"So I call my book "Ask the Dust" because the dust of the East and the Middle West is in these streets,
and it is a dust where nothing will grow,
a culture without roots,
a frantic grasping for entrenchment,
the empty fury of lost hopeless people frenzied to reach an earth that cannot ever belong to them.
And a misguided girl who thought the frenzied ones were the happy ones,
and who tried to be one of them."
