Without yet realizing that, for me, form and meaning are one single thing. The phrase arrives already made. - Clarice Lispector

I was born in Ukraine, but already fleeing. My parents stopped in a village that’s not even on the map, called Chechelnik, for me to be born, and came to Brazil, where I arrived when I was two months old. So calling me a foreigner is nonsense. I’m more Brazilian than Russian, obviously.

what interests me is jotting things down. Putting it all together is a bore.

What’s natural is supernatural, too. Don’t think that it’s very far off. What’s natural is already a mystery.
