“An admirable line of Pablo Neruda’s, “My creatures are born of a long denial,” seems to me the best definition of writing as a kind of exorcism, casting off invading creatures by projecting them into universal existence, keeping them on the other side of the bridge… It may be exaggerating to say that all completely successful short stories, especially fantastic stories, are products of neurosis, nightmares or hallucination neutralized through objectification and translated to a medium outside the neurotic terrain. This polarization can be found in any memorable short story, as if the author, wanting to rid himself of his creature as soon and as absolutely as possible, exorcises it the only way he can: by writing it.”

“Ebrei, rom e certi hanno una cosa in comune: la loro cultura è sopravvissuta per migliaia di anni senza mai avere confini nazionali da difendere o dietro cui proteggersi. È davvero una questione a cui gli storici dovrebbero interessarsi e cercare di spiegare. E che attualmente potrebbe avere molto da insegnarci.”
