Super I
L'ennui, quel plaie quand même !
RB: So is there a deep or deeper reason why you write or that you attach to literature?
PC: I don’t want to be bored.
RB: You don’t want to be bored?
PC: [laughs] I don’t like being bored. In the beginning, as a young and ignorant man in my early 20s I discovered there were such beautiful things in the world like As I Lay Dying, for instance, and Ulysses. The thought that one might actually make something very beautiful, that had never existed before was really what I wanted to do. And in the end, that’s what I want to do. I would like to make something that is new and is beautiful. I may have – to the reader – more obvious obsessions. Things that I do. But I think that’s what sustains me and what excites me. I might make something new and that I hope might be beautiful.
