Julio Maturana França's review
of
Nomadismos del tiempo trifráctico:
"Al igual que otro comentario, me tomé un tiempo para leer este libro. Cada mañana de camino al trabajo, intentaba leer uno o dos cuentos. A diferencia de otros libros de cuentos, estos no siguen una cierta línea, o como podríamos decir, no pareciera "

“Escribo sobre gente simple en mundos complejos: personas pequeñas que desbordan sueños y anhelos, que lloran y fallan y sin embargo siguen encontrando algún sentido.”

“I hold the belief that art consists of an intimate contact, in all of its diverse manifestations, attaining its meaning through each individual apprehension; an eternal subjectivity looking for the perfectreceptor. As I learnt from filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, whose cinema and the one of his peers are equally indispensable to me, the ultimate purpose of any art is, in its totality, to enrich the soul in a necessarily imperfect world.”

“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”

“My objective is to create my own world and these images which we create mean nothing more than the images which they are. We have forgotten how to relate emotionally to art: we treat it like editors, searching in it for that which the artist has supposedly hidden. It is actually much simpler than that, otherwise art would have no meaning. You have to be a child—incidentally children understand my pictures very well, and I haven’t met a serious critic who could stand knee-high to those children. We think that art demands special knowledge; we demand some higher meaning from an author, but the work must act directly on our hearts or it has no meaning at all.”

“El problema de la literatura fantástica y el subdesarrollo (...) está en plena vigencia. Contra los que pretenden subordinar la inteligencia al subdesarrollo esgrimiremos una arma poderosa: nuestra capacidad de extrapolarnos a cualquier planeta, al pasado o al futuro, a las entrañas del microcosmos o a los oscuros laberintos del inconsciente y desde allí —desde mi punto de vista cuya perspectiva puede proporcionar una objetividad casi marciana— haremos una crítica feroz y constructiva (...) Así pues tal vez entiendan los hombres cibernéticos que la science fiction no es escapismo: en nuestro es encuentro.”
