As Nestor Ponce explained during the press conference from the 80 France has changed the image I had of Spanish literature, marked by Franco and the Civil War and very traditional.
This change of thinking has been the result of an increase in the supply of Spanish literature in the neighboring country, much more international, more diverse and more open and owes much to the writings of Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
Since that time, the Castilian literature begins to become important in France, with a good representation editorial in the market.
