I live in London and I am a British subject, although I do write in Spanish, of course

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, with characters and a plot that sustain interest from the first sentence to the last. But that is not what I do at all.

I was able to read a movie before I was able to read a book

I think that I've tried many times to get Cuba in my writings, especially Havana, which was once a great and fascinating city.

I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic.

It means that no matter what you write, be it a biography, an autobiography, a detective novel, or a conversation on the street, it all becomes fiction as soon as you write it down.

I am against the notion of style in itself
