Quote by Herman Koch

“Aber Film hin oder her, man sollte nie mit Fotos aus einem Film für einen Roman werben. Damit schränkt man die Fantasie des Lesers ein. Man zwingt ihn die Gesichter der Filmschauspieler vor sich zu sehen. Für den, der erst den Film gesehen hat und dann das Buch lesen möchte, macht das vielleicht nicht viel aus. Aber der, der erst das Buch gelesen hat, gerät in ein Dilemma.”

“If Borges’s constant vaivén (between politics and metaphysics, between north and south, between the small and the vast, between the universal and the insular) proves something, it is that literature’s relationship to borders of any kind is an arbitrary imposition. Nationalities, hemispheres, periods, schools, genres, and themes are artificial boundaries that may be useful for taxonomical purposes, but literature, as Borges repeatedly shows, should be read and written with a joyful disregard for these classifications.”
