I am a racist and a colonialist.

I spent the first ten years of my life in Germany, the following ten in Paris, the following ten between Argentine and Uruguay.

Our most terrifying fears and our innermost secret desires for extermination are reflected in this elegant and profound book, without any sort of leniency to attenuate the disgust and hopelessness we feel when faced with a humanity constantly atrophied by a series of values and practices that lead to chaos.

— Albert Caraco

French, German, English and Spanish are four admirable languages and I manage to express myself in all of them with more or less skill.

— Albert Caraco

I don't hide my profession of pessimism and I'm an avowed partisan of reaction.
