“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 pulse of its being by means of its flickering light. But at what moment in this oscillation is our true self manifested? In the darkness or the twinkle?” WayNeedsMeanSelfMomentsShowsLightStarsDarknessIdentityManifestTrue SelfPulseHintsCumulativeOscillationFlickering Light Author:Sergio Chejfec
“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 read novels that are looking to convince me of anything.” WantShowsInterestNovelArguingConvinceThesis Author:Sergio Chejfec
“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 abstracted, this way of thinking about reality. And that's why I write the way I do - it's an almost immortal way to show dependence on the biological, the political, the moral parts of us. I say immortal because we now have to find new formats, new eloquences, and resolve within ourselves this "constructed" life, a life that is incomplete, imperfect.” ThinkingWorldWayWritingShowsRealityPoliticalSpeakMoralEthicsImmortalResolveImperfectDependenceWay Of ThinkingEloquenceIncompleteFormat Author:Sergio Chejfec
