The most loyal followers of Juan Marsé can find in this book private collection one of those spaces of intimate encounter with the author's universe. Pages chosen by Juan Marsé to reveal the most relevant question that an author can ask: Why write? A question that both sides of the mirror of literature ask at some point. The reader may want to know what moves the author, but the author does not always have the most precise answer, until he presents us with a particular collection like this one.
Juan Marsé himself already said that "writing is a back and forth task, with a lot of pencil in between" and he demonstrated this in works such as The great disappointment, published in 2004 although it was a work completely inspired by writings from the sixties, with evocations of his early childhood years between the 30s and 40s.
So, nothing better than, at some point in the advanced personal history of an author, to present that very particular compilation with which to show its readers that part of the soul left in writings and rewrites, in forgotten stories and illustrious stories that make up the voice. the whole of the writer in front of the world.
But this book is not a reunion with past texts, nor just a compilation. Among its pages you can also enjoy unpublished aspects of the author, in terms of work but also in terms of settings, those scenarios that his imagination always transferred to paper to the delight of readers and critics.
An authentic universe of the EVERYTHING that ends up endowing the writer with his soul and his style, a sincere and daring selection, an integral nude of one who imagines and transposes reality to tell passionate stories.
