The real bombs are my books, not me.

Don't classify me, read me.

Here among my books, my wife, my friends and my loves, I have plenty of reasons to keep living.

I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I'm looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death.

I am a literary animal. For me, everything ends in literature.

I don't think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.
