Roberto Bolaño
“I don't have anything against autobiographies, so long as the writer has a penis that's twelve inches long when erect.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Secret of Evil

“[A]n old writer’s memory is the whore of his imagination. We all reinvent our pasts, I said, but writers are in a class of their own.”
John le Carré, The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life
