"But the true
work of art is not in a hurry: it can slumber for decades, like La Regenta [the 19th-century masterpiece by Leopoldo Alas Clarín] or even forcenturies, like [16th-century novel] La lozana andaluza. The fact that I’m being praised by the literary establishment makes me question myself; being a persona non gratais comforting to me and my work.”
--from Juan Goytisolo's acceptance speech
