Because to win means business, commerce, selling and profit. Ideology of difference in Blitz.
Poor but honored, the majority of the artists published in this double LP showcase the creative vitality of their generation". To a certain extent, it is necessary that many people do not like it so to create the necessary group dynamics that gives strength to those music movements that aim radically to reassess and create something new. It communicates with the world periodically but in almost all of its gestures - from record releases to press promotion - the notion that it is radically at odds with the current way of thinking in common record companies is confirmed.
Its production is not addressed to everyone.
Staying close to the anonymous crowd that feeds the charts is not desired. Do you still feel emotionally close to this work? I write hours a day and each book takes me about two years. I inhabit it, get to know the various voices, grow fond of them. The question becomes will I be able to write another one? And my efforts go there. In your more recent work almost all adjectives and adverbs have disappeared, similes are rare, the syntax has exploded and the punctuation has vanished The real question of writing is never what to write but how In twenty years many things have changed.
Handwriting is a little like embroidering each letter The objective is to obtain maximum efficacy.
You must be aware that you are considered a difficult author. The switching among narrative voices, the slipping between first and third person, the associative collages, the dilating and contracting of time, all contribute to the richness of the text. As a reader I have had difficulties entering the world of certain authors myself. For instance, when I first encountered Conrad, it all seemed surrounded in a fog. I later understood that this was my problem: Then suddenly, Conrad taken in his own terms, became crystal clear, luminous Over the years I have learned to resist the temptation to generate a myriad of metaphors: I also stopped trying to dazzle my readers with linguistic fireworks.
At every turn he is displaying his intelligence, a very fine one at that. But I think a book should be intelligent in itself rather than display the intelligence of its author. When it comes to your own work, you resist categories like novel, characters, story They are neither novels nor poetry so I would rather call them books. He catches a fish, then other fish eat his fish. Is that a story? How do you know when a book is finished?
Memoria De Elefante
A book is finished when it does not want me to work on it any longer Paradoxically, when I finally feel at ease with a manuscript, with its voices, I realize it is finished. I see a book as a living organism, with its own rules and will. What matters to me is to allow it to grow and to acquire an existence of its own. It really all depends on the translator.

I never read the translations of my work, not even in the languages that I know. For that matter, I have never read my books in Portuguese I have simply written them!
Once I give the final proof to my publisher I never pick it up again. I love poetry I would write it if only I knew how but let me ask you, can poetry be translated? What fascinates me about great jazz musicians is their phrasing I have largely given up punctuation, as to allow the musicality to emerge from the words themselves Do you start with the desire to explore a specific theme? I have always written. Writing is what I know. After the first two books, which were outlined, I now simply start writing without worrying about where it will lead.
I was just a kid. I do not know why the human animal has such a need to narrate. In my case I could not imagine my life without writing. On the contrary, I come from a family of doctors who could not conceive of writing as an occupation.
