I'm a writer, not a genre.

I always felt a little worm inside me: 'Now you need to write a novel with a woman protagonist.'

Work is what saves you.

Diplomacy in a sense is the opposite of writing. You have to disperse yourself so much: the lady who comes in crying because she's had a fight with the secretary; exports and imports; students in trouble; thumbtacks for the embassy.

Don't classify me, read me.

Sentado en la cama, tratas de distinguir el origen de esa luz difusa, opalina, que apens te permite separa los objetos, la presencia de Aura, de la atmosfera dorada que los envuelve.

I love having critics for breakfast.

Vivir es traicionar a tu Dios; cada acto de la vida, cada acto que nos afirma como seres vivos, exige que se violen los mandamientos de tu Dios.

In literature, you know only what you imagine.

I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I’m looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death.
