Читать книгу Blue White Red - Alain Mabanckou - Страница 11

The imagination culls its ingredients from reality.

Such is the price one has to pay to achieve a likeness. In the last resort, however, it is the author that must give his characters the fate he thinks is custom-fit to them, depending on the circumstances. From the time they are shaped, these characters borrow our ways. The good and/or the bad. None of the heroes (or antiheroes) presented here belong to any world other than the imagination.
