Manuel Puig
  • In a country like France, so ancient, their history is full of outstanding people, so they carry a heavy weight on their back. Who could write in French after Proust or Flaubert?

  • It doesn't matter that the way of life shown by Hollywood was phony. It helped you hope.

  • Ironically, Latin American countries, in their instability, give writers and intellectuals the hope that they are needed.

  • My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.

  • I don't think humor is forced upon my universe it's a part of it.
