Three best ideas I like the most from interview of Mario Vargas Llosa.
# feminism now has a kind of problem. It has become very sectarian, very dogmatic, and I think you have to criticize and oppose these trends. In context of Nabokov’s Lolita (which he think is one of the greatest 20th century novels) # Claim on that is … The main character is pedophile with this criterion, literature will disappear. It is Grotesque! If you respect literature, you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them.
# Georges Bataille said that in human beings, there are angels and devils. Sometimes the angels are important, but for literature, devils are important too. Literature is a testimony of what we want to hide in the real word. This is the raison d’être of literature. You cannot attack literature for our vices and prejudices and stupidities.
# the ideas of Sartre encouraged me to become a writer and made me understand that writing was not only for creating pleasure but also a tool for change. # All writers are autobiographical. In some writers, this is more explicit and obvious, in others more hidden. But I don’t think you invent anything out of nothing. The main point of departure is always the personal memory of actual experience.
WONDERFUL ,
