Writers rush in where publishers fear to tread and where translators fear to tread

I describe my works as books, but my publishers in Spain, in the United States, and elsewhere insist on calling them novels

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.

But I do not have the reader in mind when I write. No true writer does that

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

Dialogue in fiction is always written to be read in silence. The page is the limit. Dialogue on stage and on the screen is meant to be spoken. The voice is the limit.
