On the art of writing
"Many people in his youth when he says" I want to be a writer ", in reality they want to be a writer in the sense of function socially as writers, that's what they like. Take the card to be able to say, going to conferences, have a professional social figure. And they find that the problem with that is they have to write, you do not like. "
" It remain far behind the invention. There will be more testimony of these wonderful lives that we are. And I think history has a trick ugado j novelists, and that has solved many problems. [...] So they invent. Or turn to the neurosis. A hypochondria. And all this psychological misery to me tired. I was like hooked on the novels of pirates, go out to sea to do something, to have adventures. This realism fashionable neighborhood, Palermo Soho, does not convince me. [...] I am surprised that these novels of youth, at least for the young Argentine novels seem senescence. Without momentum building. "
About
poetry
"I think poetry is the laboratory of the literature. There are proven innovations, the most extreme games. And in the narrative these j been playing games can serve as models for different structures ..."
About
Shakespeare "Shakespeare is pure wealth, wealth is concentrated. In each verse of Shakespeare is poetry, metaphor, there is a preview of the action, a description of the character, todojunto in each verse.
In fact, anyone who wants to read Shakespeare have to do a little effort, learn some English and read it, because there is no choice. The translations can serve either as a guide for someone learning the language or as an experiment and see what happens, what is transmitted from one language to another. "
About César Vallejo
" One of the first books I read my teens and I did discover something important was Trilce Cesar Vallejo. That book made me realize that literature could also be enigma. ... Trilce, remains a favorite book of mine and showed me how literature could be enigma, a mystery. I reread it at least once a year, I give a reinterpretation of Trilce to refresh the wonder. "
on their books
"Every morning, mid-morning, I go to coffee and do my day's session: paginita write because I write very slowly. Sometimes I wondered if mine is not more like the picture or to writing, inthe sense that I am very prophetic of pens, ink, paper good, very fine books, and I write so slowly and thinking so much. All I have is a great visual component.
Mine always goes a little to the side of fantasy, invention, to the nonsense, delirium, so I would not get a say in the world. "
"My novels are based on an idea of \u200b\u200bsome type of game intellectual, something that seems promising and challenging me. See if you can do, I do not know what I, a man who becomes gradually squirrel, and then threw me a little to the adventure, to improvise every day. "
" My end is not so good, and I often have criticized, rightly, because they are a bit steep. And I've noticed that sometimes I get tired or want to start over, and ended up anyway. "
