When I write, I enjoy myself so much that what is being written really needs no reader

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

I first came out against Castro in June 1968, fifteen months after my book had been published, and you cannot imagine how quickly a void was created around me

Many of my books have begun with the title, because naming a work already in progress makes no sense to me.

I do not believe in inspiration, but I must have a title in order to work, otherwise I am lost

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

I am a writer of fragments.
