Kate Foster

“There was something unmistakably exultant about the mess that Rosa had made. Her bedroom-studio was at once the canvas, journal, museum, and midden of her life. She did not “decorate” it; she infused it.” - Rosa Saks, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

I'm Kate Foster, a 22-year-old writer, sometimes-artist, and creative thinker. It's no wonder, then, that I relate so much to Rosa Saks, the female protagonist of Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Witty, selfless, and independent, Rosa is often shocked by her innate ability to love and be loved, despite her constant craving for self-fulfillment. Her bedroom is a battlefield of various writings and art works, most half-finished and craving conclusion; the inner workings of her mind are much the same.
