My books are about losers, about people who've lost their way and are engaged in a search.
Perfection spawns doctrines, dictators and totalitarian ideas.
But I don't think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don't have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.

personally I don't trust literature that soothes people's consciences.
In a novel, my feelings and sense of outrage can find a broader means of expression which would be more symbolic and applicable to many European countries.
