“Un escritor argentino, muy amigo del boxeo, me decía que en ese combate que se entabla entre un texto apasionante y su lector, la novela gana siempre por puntos, mientras que el cuento debe ganar por knockout. Es cierto, en la medida en que la novela acumula progresivamente sus efectos en el lector, mientras que un buen cuento es incisivo, mordiente, sin cuartel desde las primeras frases.
An Argentine writer, very fond of boxing, told me that in that fight that takes place between an absorbing text and its reader, the novel wins a technical victory, while the story must win by knockout. It's true, in that the novel progressively builds up its effect upon the reader, while a good story is incisive, mordant, and shows no clemency from the first lines on.”
