You can’t change your form for one that seems truer without the risk of not finding yourself anymore. But they seem like places that don’t belong to me, and if I write about them I write about them to appropriate them. I don’t have to look for a view of Naples, I’ve had it since birth. I mean that I am not my books – I don’t dare have a life that is autonomous the way they do. We don’t have to fear change, what is other shouldn’t frighten us.
