◆ Third,"conversation in Cathedral"(1969)
◆ fourth,"The War of the End of the World"(1981)

◆ I think, that is most important views from this interview

=) If you respect Literature you must accept not only idealist ,altruist,vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them.

=) George Bataille said that in human beings,the thare angels and devils.sometimes the angels are important,but for literature,devils are important too. literature is a testimony of what we want to hide in real world.

=) I am convinced that the faminist movement's voice should be heard,but he don't accept this idea of censorship for literature or for culture in general.

◆ Thank you.
