Viet Thanh Nguyen
“talent is something you use, not something that uses you.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Javier Cercas
“Uno de mis primeros entrevistados fue Roberto Bolaño. Bolaño, que era escritor y chileno, vivía desde hacía mucho tiempo en Blanes, un pueblo costero situado en la frontera entre Barcelona y Gerona, tenía cuarenta y siete años, un buen número de libros a sus espaldas y ese aire inconfundible de buhonero hippie que aqueja a tantos latinoamericanos de su generación exiliados en Europa.”
Javier Cercas, Soldados de Salamina

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Americans liked seeing people eye to eye, the General had once told me, especially as they screwed them from behind.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Paul Auster
“Do you know what happened the last time a nation listened to a bush?" Honey asks.

"Its people wandered in the desert for forty years.”

Orhan Pamuk
“My fear was not the fear of God but, as in the case of the whole Turkish secular bourgeoisie, fear of the anger of those who believe in God too zealously(...) I experienced the guilt complex as something personal, originated less from the fear of distancing myself from God than from distancing myself from the sense of community shared by the entire city .”
Orhan Pamuk, Istanbul: Memories and the City
