• Después de leer Edgar Allan Poe. Algo que los críticos no han advertido: un nuevo mundo literario que apunta a la literatura del siglo XX. Milagros científicos, fábulas sobre el patrón A+ B, una literatura clarividente y enfermiza. No más poesía sino fantasía analítica. Algo monomaníaco. Las cosas desempeñando un papel más importante que las personas; el amor cediendo a las deducciones y otras formas de ideas, estilo, tema e interés. La base de la novela trasladada del corazón a la cabeza, de la pasión a la idea, del drama al desenlace.
