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 have assiduously avoided calling my books novels

For me, literature is a complex game, both mental and concrete, which is acted out in a physical manner on the page.

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

For me, words are just words, nothing else

I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself

I am a writer of fragments.
