“Ayer unas personas me preguntaron cuál era, para mí, el gran problema de la literatura chilena. Ya es bastante absurdo que en una conversación de pasillo pueda darse una pregunta como esa. Las conversaciones de pasillo, por lo demás, siempre fracasan, o al menos así se me presentan la mayoría de las veces: como simples promesas de dispersión. Pero respondí, con seguridad, que el problema de la literatura chilena era la costumbre de escribir cigarrillo en lugar de cigarro. En Chile nadie dice cigarrillo, decimos cigarro, argumenté, como golpeando una mesa imaginaria, pero los escritores chilenos escriben cigarrillo, y al final agregué esta frase absolutamente demagógica: Yo soy de los que escriben cigarro.”
