“The purpose of the book that you hold in your hands is to say that literature should not be sweetened, purified or refined. The best books are often lustful, repulsive, thrown, obscene; They exploit our unhealthy curiosity, expose that society would like to disguise, reveal the dark side of our human nature; They produce beautiful from vicious, explore the limits, cross all boundaries, violate prohibitions. And most importantly: they climb into the fact that they do not concern. A good book is one that does not teach. ”

And many others... This is not only a kind of hit parade, but also a real manifesto of literature in its most pure and unclean form - a real cure for our time.
