“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
“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
“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 history, of evidence. It's a way for the way the narrator to construct a semblance of self, even though all of this creates a deception, a way to think of one's traces as a real way to define oneself. The trace is fallible, impermanent. It's one of the motives I had in mind throughout the text.” PeopleThinkingWayMindRealSelfUseCultureAbilityEvidenceMarkNotesSpeciesOneselfNostalgiaDeceptionMotiveConstructsNarratorsSemblance Author:Sergio Chejfec
