I Think That The Best Literature Has

I Try To Write About Small Insignificant Things. I Try To Find Out If It’s Possible To Say Anything About Them. And I Almost Always Do If I Sit Down And Write About Something. There Is Something In That Thing That I Can Write About. It’s Very Much Like A Rehearsal. An Exercise, In A Way.

I Never Read The Translation Before Publication. The Most Important Things For Me Is That The Emotion Is Captured In Such A Way That The Feelings That Are In The Original Are There, Much More Than The Details, If They Are Right Or Wrong.

Saying What You Believe Others Want To Hear Is, Of Course, A Form Of Lying.

A Problem With My Novels Is That They, From The Start, Have Been Infantile And Incredibly Childish. There Are Childishness, Stupidity, Lack Of Wisdom, Fantasies. At The Same Time, That's Where My Creativity Can Be Found. If I Tried To Control It And Make It More Mature, It Wouldn't Be Good At All. It'd Be Uninteresting, Without Any Vivacity.

If You Are Disappearing From Yourself, But You're Still Writing, Then There Is A Kind Of Activity Of Thinking Going On, Which In My World Is Similar To What's Going On In Music.
