Escribir es un acto de rebeldía, una manera de decir que no aceptamos el mundo tal como es.

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.

写作是留下思想的遗产。

"That is what is so strange, that people will not believe what is really true, what is before their eyes."
