As Borges, the Master, said: “When I heard Funes speak, then I had the story.” One has to let the character speak. - Angélica Gorodischer

I believe all of us are constantly writing the text-that-is-the-world.

Influences are very subtle currents. One doesn’t learn anything directly, one absorbs (at least in my case that’s how it is) and swallows and assimilates and sometimes it comes out in some other way. I consider that my literary father is Borges (together with Balzac, Arlt, Woolf, Flash Gordon and the Duchess of Alba in a portrait painted by Goya).

We must remember who they are and what they did. Because the future grows out of the past, we must stay alert.
