Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

In your novels, events and backgrounds are “historical – mythical – cultural …” and related to far removed from Latin American reality. Did you try to escape the dominance of fantastic realism?

In my work, I try to see the world with the eyes of a Brazilian, but I do not create limits for my imagination. Therefore, as the human conflicts take place in human hearts – regardless the cultural background – I write about them, but free in time and space.

    I like you for you are interesting and do not follow at any cost the others ways of writing.I do like also fantastic realism,dont forgett about Marques,Borges,but if we were to read the same kind of books for a long time,shurely we should get borred.And one have to follow his heart, you really do that,for my greatest admiration.
