My book has a very simple surface, but there are layers of irony and paradox all the way through it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are elements of irony in my work, of course.
Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.
Irony is a clear consciousness of an eternal agility, of the infinitely abundant chaos.
I'm most interested in finding the strangeness and irony in reality. That's my forte.
I don't have a constituency, and I'm not autobiographical in any way. I write these deeply moral books in a country which would prefer irony to anything with a moral tone.
I have wit in my work and a sense of humor, but I do not use irony in any way.
Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.
The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.
I think I would explode in flames of irony if I were to option an idea that I was satirizing in a novel.
Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.
