I Use A Lot Of Film Images,

The Great Wheel Of Fire Of Ancient Wisdom, Silence And Word Engendering The Myth Of The Origin, Human Action Engendering The Epic Voyage Toward The Other; Historical Violence Revealing The Tragic Flaw Of The Hero Who Must Then Return To The Land Of Origin; Myth Of Death And Renewal And Silence From Which New Words And Images Will Arise, Keeps On Turning In Spite Of The Blindness Of Purely Lineal Thought.

Here Among My Books, My Wife, My Friends And My Loves, I Have Plenty Of Reasons To Keep Living.

I Believe In Books That Do Not Go To A Ready-made Public. I'm Looking For Readers I Would Like To Make. To Win Them, To Create Readers Rather Than To Give Something That Readers Are Expecting. That Would Bore Me To Death.

Most Writers In Mexico Have Had Posts As Ambassadors, Secretaries - That Is No Longer The Case. Now A Writer Can Live Off Writing. He Has An Audience: There Are Publishing Houses, There Are Newspapers - So The Situation Is Not As Terrible As It Used To Be When There Were No Means And He Had To Go Into Government Service, Be An Ambassador Or A Cabinet Minister, Etc. So, Things Are Changing In The Sense That The Civil Society Is Now The Protagonist. The Writer Therefore Occupies A Different Position, But No Less Influential Than In The Past, In A New, Democratic Society.

I Have No Literary Fears.
