For me, the poetry in a work is that which makes visible the invisible.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.
always-trying world literature
Literature is always trying to show other parts of this immense universe in which we live. It's endless. I'm sure there will be other writers who will discover new worlds.

I have often heard that the novel is dead. But I see novels produced, I don't know how many a week, in France. I have the impression it's carrying along quite well.

Suspicion is one of the morbid reactions by which an organism defends itself and seeks another equilibrium.

Poetry is what makes the invisible appear.

All psychological research is completely barred by the interpretations of the psychoanalysts. Everything happens in the unconscious, and I don't know what this unconscious is.

One can't write without having read - you have to read before beginning to write - and universities offer a very good opportunity to read.

I have never sought the reason why I write.
