Dworkin 's short fiction and novels often incorporated elements from her life and themes from her nonfiction writing , sometimes related by a first-person narrator . Critics have sometimes quoted passages spoken by characters in '' Ice and Fire '' as representations of Dworkin 's own views . cf. Dworkin , however , wrote " My fiction is not autobiography . I am not an exhibitionist . I do not show myself . I am not asking for forgiveness . I do not want to confess . But I have used everything I know — my life — to show what I believe must be shown so that it can be faced . The imperative at the heart of my writing — what must be done — comes directly from my life . But I do not show my life directly , in full view ; nor even look at it while others watch . " In 1997 , Dworkin published a collection of her speeches and articles from the 1990s in '' Life and Death : Unapologetic Writings on the Continuing War on Women '' , including a long autobiographical essay on her life as a writer , and articles on violence against women , pornography , prostitution , Nicole Brown Simpson , the use of rape during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina , the Montreal massacre , Israel , and the gender politics of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
