Quotations

The novel is very contagious. Long-lived, coriace, very nine in its old age; if extraordinary in its resources, if fertile and generous. This machine with stories is with stainless springs. It is wonder to borrow conventions of the kind, the tested processes. Coincidence, the meeting, secrecies with drawers, intrigues and passions. To let come to oneself all the voices, the reminiscences and images, borrow them and tie them together wants energy, a monomaniaque investment of long life. To write such a novel, it is to be made the agent of other books, but is also to become, in the impulse of the writing, its first and proper reader: to foment its clean surprised page on page, episodes in chapitres. Anne-Marie Garat, In the hand of the devil , Threshold, Paris, 1994

For example an open door on a jardin.
The interior of the house is dark, one does not see drop there. Only the rectangular cutting of a window on a vegetable tumble, flooded of light, which can know the over-exposure, plugging whiteness, before delivering forms, colors. Initially flutter of powder, grains in suspension, snow. It snows. An inside, an outside, the very large tension between this inside, this outside. The call depth. And also, laterally, which can emerge within the framework, to come to be registered there, to write. Somebody. A noise, a voice. Behind, in this black of the house, which will start to move, in its rooms, to speak. For example, a scrambled window of rain, a storm of summer, an eel bucket given up with the water of the sky. Or this man sitting under a lamp. He grows dark, he turns me the back. It écrit.
