…when we begin to write we are in a tradition, in an imaginary of that tradition, an imaginary of literature where we have in view imaginary laws we believe order the world of writing.
The only book that is worth writing is the one we don’t have the courage or strength to write.
…the book brings us to the frontier of the forbidden and helps us to trespass it. It is about going beyond, about breaking through the known, the human, and advancing in the direction of the terrifying, of our own end…there where the other begins.
