Nostalgia for people, cultures, everything. There's an ability to use these marks to note things that are erased, deleted. Traces are a species of hi….

A word, and all the infinite fluctuations it may possess. Like that moment when you know you have something to say, and you know you're speaking, eve….

For me, it's a way to find a fiction within a fiction. To find a way to uncover that blunder within the "lie," because when you look closer, every "l….

We can speak of politics, ethics, and in this way, speak about the world. But at the same time, it's always in a way that is totally nebulous and abs….

I like to compare the first experiences of the Internet - the fortuitousness, the chance - with reality, with the experience, for example, of being i….

At one point I felt a tension between objects, their real, physical lives, and the idea of meaning: the physical, material reality of a book, and the….

For a long time, we assume we know who we are, until the moment we fully realize who that is; in that moment, identity is no longer predictable, but ….

One must distance oneself from the idea of strict realism. It seems to me that real nature doesn't exist anymore, this idea of "the wild." This is wh….

Identity is gradual, cumulative; because there is no need for it to manifest itself, it shows itself intermittently, the way a star hints at the puls….

I don't read novels that are looking to convince me of anything. I believe that literature needs to be a machine of illusions..

When I use a name or place, I want to leave the reader open to the waterfall of determinacy that it may provoke. And I don't know, but I must mention….

Novels with a "thesis" don't interest me. They just don't - novels that want to "show" something, that want to "argue" something specific. I don't re….

Like when you pick up a book and you don't realize what type of text it is - it could be an essay, a novel, a biography - and at one point you realiz….

What I find is that many times when I work with chance, with indeterminacy, I am more open to experience, less prone to a fixed process, and I think ….

Not to say that the process assumes anything of "greater" or "lesser" importance, though: it's just more graphic information. Take the surrealists, f….

I don't even know - for me, it's difficult to decide which is more important - the things or the thoughts. It seems to me that certain things came up….
