THE NEW ART OF MAKING BOOKS”
WHAT A BOOK IS
A book is a sequence of spaces.
Each of these spaces is perceived
at a different moment –
a book is also a sequence of
moments.
A book is not a case of words, nor
a bag of words, nor a bearer of
words.
A writer, contrary to the popular
opinion, does not write books.
A writer writes texts.
