“In an ideal world, literary criticism is very important, no less important than creative writing.”

“This is the way my memory works; it provides me with a stream of scented, flavored, visual memories. For some mysterious reason, it chooses to eliminate sounds and voices, especially when it comes to foreign cities. I tend to totally forget the sounds of these cities and remember only silent streets, squares, gardens, and markets.”
