Guillermo Cabrera Infante

I have one main reader, Miriam Gomez, my wife. She reads everything I write - I have not finished writing something and she is already reading it.

I first came out against Castro in June 1968, fifteen months after my book had been published, and you cannot imagine how quickly a void was created around me.

Puns are a form of humor with words.

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I'm always embarrassed by those rugby player autobiographies which get written by journalists.
