I do not consider myself a Hispanic writer.

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

If the sleep of reason produces monsters, what does the sleep of unreason produce?

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

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

I am the only British writer who writes in Spanish
