“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 rather takes the form of a truth that, like any other, can become a sentence with no more than a change of perspective.” KnowsLongMomentsFormRealizingIdentityPerspectiveLong TimeAssumingSentencesWho We AreThat MomentPredictable Author:Sergio Chejfec
“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 it creates a very important challenge. It creates a way of writing that is, in a way, flatter or smooth, a surface conducive to release, to movement. And in this way, the form of writing gets delightfully melded with the process of the writing.” ThinkingWayWritingImportantFormProcessChallengesChanceMovementSurfaceReleaseFixedSmooth Author:Sergio Chejfec
“Not to say that the process assumes anything of "greater" or "lesser" importance, though: it's just more graphic information. Take the surrealists, for example, or a work by Cage. For me, there's a great value in doing this with literature. There's a certain form of dependence; process and product inform each other, depend on each other. I consider myself a writer who doesn't write with a style, almost. I begin with tension, with a vibe, a character.” WritingCharacterFormCertainValuesLiteratureProcessGreaterStyleInformationExampleProductsDependsImportanceAssumingTensionDependenceCagesGraphicGreat ValueSurrealist Author:Sergio Chejfec
