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

American literature had always considered writing a very serious matter

My parents were founders of the Cuban Communist Party, and I grew up extremely poor.

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

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.

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

No, absolutely not, writing doesn't have to be like a jigsaw puzzle, it can be a very linear undertaking.
