I Think All Writing Is Done Through

My Mother Had Been Educated At A Convent, And She Had Been Converted To Communism By My Father During Stalin's Most Rampant Period, At The Beginning Of The 1930s. So She Had Two Gods, God In Heaven And God On Earth.

So I Do Not Consider Myself A Chronicler Of My Fatherland Or Even A Chronicler Of Havana

I Don't Much Believe In The Idea Of Characters. I Write With Words, That Is All. Whether Those Words Are Put In The Mouth Of This Or That Character Does Not Matter To Me

Titles Are Not Only Important, They Are Essential For Me. I Cannot Write Without A Title

I Think Writers Rush In Where Everybody Is Very Frightened To Tread
