Samanta Schweblin quotes

Home belongs to the family. It's not a place you chose, it's more of an imposed space, arbitrary-a space whose rules you don't entirely understand. (Samanta Schweblin)

In the moment you decide to publish, you hand them off. But it's interesting how certain stories have remained present-how some were published over and over in different languages, which meant they always seemed close by, and I would change little things here or there.

I learned to write reading North American literature, I love your literature, but I have this feeling that if a country only reads its own literature, it will run out of oxygen.

Samanta Schweblin

I think TV series, games, and general media have changed the way we tell stories. But books will remain. Technology has changed all the others arts: painting, theater, dancing, cinema, music. But literature is an absolutely intimate process between the writer's voice and the reader's mind, it is something so natural and strong that the only thing that technology could change is its support, its format, for example, if we read from a book or from an e-reader. But that doesn't change the heart of literature.
