Autobiography by Keith Richards and Die With Your Eyes Open by Derek Raymond.

One of the Secret Seven or Five Friends. Pitsirikas, to be ready to believe in anything and even more ready to do anything for my company.

I would prefer Hunter S. Thompson to be the host so we have everything we need. From there, Roberto Bolano, Sarah Kane, Jack London, Alejandra Pisarnik.

That “every free minute is a short story with a happy ending.” From Sundaram by Gregory David Roberts. It’s not a hint, but it’s something I’ve never thought of before and I liked it.

“Magic Skin” by Honore de Balzac.

“Eric Castel”, a comic that came out when I was a kid. I must have read each issue over thirty times. In literature, I rarely read a book more than once. I like books that make me feel “weird” instead of remembering them in detail. That’s why there are many that I consider my favorites and I hardly remember their plot.

Lies and truth. With the clear intention of supporting the lie.

Because it’s so skewed to what I consider to be overrated honesty. Represent the world in honesty. I think it would be terrible and unbearable. On the contrary, lies can make up beautiful stories, create life from nothing, excite our imagination, create expectations, add a little … sauce to our routine everyday life.

If I have changed in any way, it is due to the fact that I no longer look for context to talk about things that burn me, like, for example, about a dying person in Hollywood, but I want to make up stories. which include them. And if they don’t fit, I’m able to defend the story instead of forcibly telling it.
