我是个失败的诗人。也许每个小说家最初都想写诗,发现自己做不到后尝试短篇小说——那是仅次于诗歌要求最高的形式。连这个也失败了,他才会转向长篇小说。
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
Un buen escritor es aquel que logra conectar con el alma del lector.
每本书都是一句引文;每座房子都是从所有森林、矿山和采石场中引用的;每个人都是从他所有祖先中引用的。
