"I think I'm an American writer writing about Latin America, and I'm a Latin American writer who happens to write in English."

Previous Quote

It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose.
