"Saya bersyukur atas orang-orang seperti Kundera, Murnane, Markson, Berger, dan, dalam karya terbarunya, Coetzee. Tapi tidak peduli seberapa terkenalnya mereka, para kritikus masih menganggap mereka curiga. Elizabeth Costello, misalnya, adalah novel yang hebat, tetapi sangat penting ketika diterbitkan. Keluhannya hanyalah buku pidato, tanpa alat fiksi konvensional. Buku-buku Markson adalah kompilasi dari fakta dan dugaan fakta, sangat berseni."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I'm grateful for the likes of Kundera, Murnane, Markson, Berger, and, in his recent work, Coetzee. But no matter how celebrated they are, critics still consider them askance. Elizabeth Costello, for example, is a great novel, but it got quite a critical panning when it was published. The complaint was that it was simply a book of speeches, without the machinery of conventional fiction. Markson's books are compilations of facts and alleged facts, very artfully.
