Outside of the dreary rubbish that is churned out by god knows how many hacks of varying degrees of talent, the novel is, it seems to me, a very special and rarefied kind of literary form, and was, for a brief moment only, wide-ranging in its sociocultural influence. For the most part, it has always been an acquired taste and it asks a good deal from its audience. Our great contemporary problem is in separating that which is really serious from that which is either frivolously and fashionably "radical" and that which is a kind of literary analogy to the Letterman show. It's not that there is pop culture around, it's that so few people can see the difference between it and high culture, if you will. Morton Feldman is not Stephen Sondheim. The latter is a wonderful what-he-is, but he is not what-he-is-not. To pretend that he is is to insult Feldman and embarrass Sondheim, to enact a process of homogenization that is something like pretending that David Mamet, say, breathes the same air as Samuel Beckett. People used to understand that there is, at any given time, a handful of superb writers or painters or whatever--and then there are all the rest. Nothing wrong with that. But it now makes people very uncomfortable, very edgy, as if the very idea of a Matisse or a Charles Ives or a Thelonious Monk is an affront to the notion of "ain't everything just great!" We have the spectacle of perfectly nice, respectable, harmless writers, etc., being accorded the status of important artists...Essentially the serious novelist should do what s/he can do and simply forgo the idea of a substantial audience.

عندما بلغتُ الخامسة والعشرين احتفلتُ واحتفل بى أصدقائى، وقلت لهم بصوت سكران: أمهلونى حتى الثلاثين، وفى الثلاثين لم أحتفل وأمهلت نفسى حتى الخامسة والثلاثين، وها قد تجاوزت منتصف المهلة الثانية ولا شىء تغير سوى شعرى الذى اكتسب بياضاً وراثياً جاءنى مبكراً كأنما ليزيد من وطأة الزمن، أكبرُ بلا مجد ولا أطفال، وتقولين يا أمى لا تسأل ولا تزور. أى خيبة تريدين أن أحمل إليك؟.

Aku tidak ingin cinta yang sejati. Tapi biarkan aku mencicipi cinta yang bukan sesaat. Biarkan aku berjuang dan bertahan di sana. Biarkan aku tersiksa untuk terus belajar bersetia. Aku rela tenggelam di sana, sebagaimana segelintir orang yang beruntung mendapatkannya.

So long time has passed since those days, and since that story, which is still vivid in my memory, and even more vivid than all the rest. Some times I stay alone in my work - room here, in my father's old mansion in Pasadena, and I look through the old, yellow pages again and again. Then I go back to the north part which is furnished in my style, with many colored Bulgarian carpets and blankets (special kind of Bulgarian blankets with long fur), I make my coffee in a cooper coffee - pot, which has been brought from there, and my thoughts wonder to those absurd memories of mine...
Very often some friends ask me - what is that unusual memories of yours? I can't explain to them, better say I don't want to, and I always avoid the answer by saying - a la Bulgaro - in a Bulgarian way..."Oh, yes, yes"...
Most times, my mind is just an ongoing, present-tense, first-person monologue. It's like I'm writing a novel.
