The Spanish writer participated in the Paraty International Literary Party table, Flip, two decades after his first participation, and attracted a large audience
“You are the most loving people in the world,” said the writer in Portuguese Montero RosaAs soon as he climbed on the stage of the Matrix Auditorium on Saturday evening, 2, in Paraty International Literary Party, Flip 2025. He returned the love of the public, who filled the space and applauded his position.
The return of Rosa, today one of the great names of Spanish literature, takes place 21 years after its first spell at the event. In 2004, he was here as little known writer, but who gained the affection of the public with his charisma and the creativity of the book he launched at that moment: The madman of the house, just reprinted by ma.
Already this year, the big star of the festival is considered, with four other books published in Brazil, all by the same publisher: Good luck, We women, The ridiculous idea of never seeing you AND The danger of being shiny. The latter, who discusses the relationship between madness and creativity, gave tone at the beginning of the conversation with the mediator Paulo Roberto Pires.
“The novelists are people who have not completely matured,” said Rosa, adding that people who need to read “to endure life, since I think there are many of you” – reported to the public – “these are people who do not have the brain developed correctly”.
“My brain is always to imagine things, which are not good at all, who does not control,” he continued. These images, he said, were born from the unconscious, where dreams come from. Suddenly one of these images excites her, it fills it with curiosity. It is because of the need to know more about these images that Rosa’s novels were born.
After reading an extract from The madman of the houseRosa spoke of her relationship with fiction and how to dedicate herself more to her she helped her have panic crisis, with which she suffered until she was 30 years old. “Madness is a breakage of common narrative. It is a sense of solitude that is not understandable, it cannot be explained,” he said. “There are psychiatry who say that a love story is a controlled delirium.”
The writer, who has worked for years as a journalist and continues to be a collaborator DThe country elHe remembered that he had studied journalism because he thought he needed a different occupation from that of the novelist to support himself. But he said he turned out to be important: “An essential thing is not to live in creative literature because it must be as free as possible. You have to find another way to earn a living”.
As much as you speak of madness and mental disorders among the writers, Rosa claims to have denied the writer’s stereotypes actions. “I hate this idea that being a writer has to suffer a lot. It is a lie. You don’t have to suffer much at all.”
Rosa also discussed the creation of her book The ridiculous idea of never seeing youIn which he turns to his husband’s death, Pablo Lizcano, in 2009, in dialogue with the mourning diary of the scientist Marie Curie, who lost her husband, Pierre Curie, in an accident with the carriage.
The writer explained that his relationship with literature is not writing about his life, but two years after Pablo’s death, when he got in touch with Curie’s writings, he felt that he could speak not only his mourning, but the mourning of all.
The writer also spoke of his obsession with death and aging, since he was afraid to achieve maturity – something that approached an interview with Estodão – and how writing was the antidote, what helped her not to be afraid of death. During the table, Rosa still remembered the beginning of her academic background in the 70s, which coincided with the democratic transition in Spain.
