Tobacco is the opiate of the gentleman, the religion of the rich.

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 don't much believe in the idea of characters. I write with words, that is all. Whether those words are put in the mouth of this or that character does not matter to me

What I do believe is that there is always a relationship between writing and reading, a constant interplay between the writer on the one hand and the reader on the other

I was an avid radio fan when I was a boy, as well as a great lover of comic strips

The relationship between reader and characters is very difficult. It is even more peculiar than the relationship between the writer and his characters.

I am a writer of fragments.
