I'm not a best-seller, but through translations, I've accumulated some money.
From Manuel Puig
I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.
I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.
I would very much like to become a best-selling author.
I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.
I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood.
I only understand realism.
I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
I haven't been the kind of writer about whom book-length academic studies have been written.
