Juan Bonilla still can not believe the news.
When promoters Mandarache Award earlier this year told him they had chosen their book So many people only as a finalist of the contest was more surprised still.
The volume was written four years ago and published it three. That a book published in 2009 suddenly revived, for me is already a big win because after that I continued to write, has said this morning the Andalusian Jose Bonilla.
Accompanied by the Councillor for Youth, and Professor Ruth Collado, Juan de Dios, has arrived this morning at the Auditorium of the author UPCT So many people only too willing to give no clues to her book, but rather to listen to more 600 students who have gathered in the Hall.
I'd rather find out what the book has left them stressed Juan Bonilla, who has stressed that his duty is not to defend the book, since books are advocating for themselves: One sows texts and then grow plants from the readers.
They may have understood the book just as you or maybe not.
So many people own is a book of stories. It is the fifth volume of its kind published Bonilla.
Not that you are passionate about the novel, a genre which also grows, but the stories, as he says, correspond more with the way they live.
It is a genre in which I feel particularly comfortable.
Also, the book's structure has allowed to intercommunicate stories, meaning that some of the characters who appear as characters in stories about secondary characters are the other and vice versa.
The work is a tribute to literature.
Bonilla spent his stories of Borges, Perec and it says it is the great book of the century, the Guinness Book of Records.
More S MEETINGS
The author's journey will continue at 20 am in Cajamurcia Foundation in Cartagena, where he will meet with university students and readers from reading clubs Libraries, People's University and the University of Elder Affairs UPCT.
Tomorrow, Friday 17, the writer visited the IES Pedro Peñalver, where you will meet students of this center at 10.20 am, and the IES Salinas del Mar Menor.
SO MANY PEOPLE ALONE
In this book a look that only irony can be defined as metaliterary. One of his characters is actually lead to a story by Borges, a poet is hired to give a recital at the bachelorette party of a fan, a man collects the memories of people listed in the work Je me souviens, Perec ...
The protagonists of these stories do not know but they have much in common, and that together they build the fabric of a loneliness that can not be shared.
Crossing the barriers that surround the story, So many people one is a narrative in which people live crazy tragic able to transform their advantage disease or a sum of failures in a great success.
Juan Bonilla enshrined characters and situations with the precision of a watchmaker who dominates the resources of his office.
In his stories there are always surprises, gifts that open new doors to further reading, wit, and, above all, a meticulous care for language.
Without doubt, the best stories of a great storyteller.
