I am against the notion of style in itself

I left my country because I was forced to, and I do not think that I am going to lose my language because I live in England

I know that many writers have had to write under censorship and yet produced good novels; for instance, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote under Catholic censorship.

If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.

A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader

So I do not consider myself a chronicler of my fatherland or even a chronicler of Havana
