Puns are a form of humor with words.

I describe my works as books, but my publishers in Spain, in the United States, and elsewhere insist on calling them novels

For me, words are just words, nothing else

Writing for me, even what you call serious writing, is play.

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.

Titles are not only important, they are essential for me. I cannot write without a title

I think writers rush in where everybody is very frightened to tread
