The kitchen is the heart of the house.
From Alvaro Enrigue
Great rock n' roll comes from suburbia.
In Mexico, I think I'm considered conservative. Not politically - in terms of form and experimentation.
I'm always reading a novel. If it's good, I remember why I love my job.
Vivian Abenshushan and Veronica Gerber write brilliant books that defy generic conventions.
I read everything from comics to magazines to fiction - I learned to read in English, years before being able to speak a word of it, by reading 'National Geographic.'
My definition of freedom is still ruled by the reluctance to live a conventional life, from Emilio Salgari's pirates.
I don't write historical novels but novels that wonder, 'And what if it happened in this way and not in this other one?'
Writing is so fun precisely because if you take out the right adjective, the readers can decide what kind of book is in their hands. Suspension of disbelief should not be mandatory in contemporary writing.
History is like Santa Claus: a language construction. We have some registers about the existence of Santa and history - the presents under the tree, the archives - but none have really seen them.
