Last Thursday at 20 hours of the evening began in the flag of authors located in the Acera de Recoletos, at the end of posts in the Frankfurt Book Fair (or beginning, as look at it) is, call it, Echevarría interview Mendoza with a large audience.
We told you more at a click.
Fill up the stops. So was the tent where the ceremony took place. And is that the name of Mendoza is capable of full capacity and to continue selling pages and pages today. While Ignacio Echevarría repeated for the third time was the first occasion in which the writer visited Barcelona this event, but not the city.
Echeverria, former literary critic.
Eduardo Mendoza made the military in Castilian and Leonese capital, particularly in aviation, Villanubla , to which he referred as that "military was safe, but the airport I have not clear " , getting the laughter of the audience, something that would be repeated throughout the short evening.
Following the presentation by former literary critic, in which he referred to the writer for it is healthier than English literature at an intermediate point between the literary quality but also something of Marcianism . And it is really hard to put a label to its literature.
On the question of whether and in his time as a private soldier in the military thought would be a writer, said without hesitation. Rallied his thoughts to the times when a child, was an avid reader of anything that fell in his hands. Remembered when I read the comics of Superman which, when imported, could only afford a friend, he was rich.
knowingly wrote
de que era imitando aquello que leía, algo que, aseguraba, “ hemos hecho todos ”. Y así se dio cuenta de que era realmente lo que le gustaría hacer, aunque nunca pensó en dedicarse a ello con exclusividad.
Hablaron también de una novela corta que publicó antes de La verdad sobre el caso Savolta , a la que se le asocia irremediablemente. Contaba de esta, de la cual tenía un único ejemplar, que era tan mala que las editoriales la rechazaban una y otra vez. Terminó por quemar la única copia cuando, después de publicar El caso Savolta, le preguntaron si no quería remove it too, and did not want to hear back from that. When asked about the type of genre you classify it, said it was the "bad genre" , some humor . But little more he could take in this regard.
As regards his first great novel, The Truth About ..., as we have said, had a long and difficult task that was to come out published. And is that the copy had consisted of about 1000 pages, volume was declining as the negative that lined up with the formula to be performing.
Mendoza.
also commented that he began his literary career to reverse: first the summit and then to the debris. The reviews, each time you publish new work, always say the best is to Savolta he said.
He also spoke of his education , subject up for trial Pio Baroja. Generational and family reasons, books were always present in your life. He claimed that studying Latin help write well, which is really enriching the translations and analysis of texts. He also played swallow " classic" of the letters based hammer in an education for priests, so it was less scientific.
by families, had an extensive library , and a father away from the stage, he taught and recited for his children, pieces, sometimes whole works, such as Tenorio, who learned based on listening. Mendoza was laughing about it and said " if someone wants to write have to know by heart the Tenorio. So, they think if you write ".
The talk continued for a while more, including public involvement, though most of the juice that could be drawn is embodied in the lines that precede them. Without doubt, a good time listener in this interview with both groups, of which I tried to extract as much as if it were their own.
