Making art was really about the problem of the soul, of losing it. It was a technique for inhabiting the world. For not dissolving into it.

It's really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I'm every character. Then again, there is a huge gap between me as a person and what I do in the novel.

I'm not belittling the art world. Not at all. I take it quite seriously, actually. But the logic of art is a vanguard logic that pressures art to incorporate the quotient of risk.

I don't quite see the 20th century as one of chaos. But I believe in certain inevitable outcomes of a materialist nature.
