“Dear friend, just a few lines to remind you of something I have told you many times during this correspondence, during which, prompted by your interesting letters, I have tried to describe some of the means employed by good novelists to imbue their novels with the magic to which we readers surrender: that the technique, the form, the language, the text, or however you wish to say it, is an indivisible whole, where the separation of the subject, the style, the sequence, the points of view, etc., is equivalent to making an incision in a living body.
The result is always, even in the best cases, a form of murder. And a corpse is a pale and deceptive remnant of the living being in motion and full creativity before rigidity overtakes it and the worms attack it.
[Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
