I don't have any style.

I think that I've tried many times to get Cuba in my writings, especially Havana, which was once a great and fascinating city.

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

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

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

For me, words are just words, nothing else

Well, I write in exile because I cannot return to my country, so I have no choice but to see myself as an exiled writer.
