Ocupation: Novelist
Life: March 6, 1927 - April 17, 2014
Birthday: March 6
Death: April 17
I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe. I would certainly be interested in deserving it, but to receive it would be terrible. It would just complicate even more the problems of fame. The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter.
