Description of the book:
Now, every time someone shares a frustrating or difficult situation with me, I always ask them: ‘Have you written about it yet? Write it down. Get it out of you’, as if it were the only way to process emotions in the world because in a way it is the only one that exists for me, and then with the intensity of someone who has just found the promised land, the fountain of youth, or the latest multi-level company that is going to make you rich, I insist that reading and writing are the solution to everything. As for the interviews, talks and everything that happened with the book, it would be stupid to say that I experienced fame in the literary world, there would be no greater delusion than that; however, I definitely experienced a success and attention that I definitely did not expect and, contrary to what my vanity and ego might believe, the gains of this mini-fame were the connection from my humanity with other human beings. To deeply understand that art is one of the most powerful ways of processing difficult emotions and situations, and that what nourishes us most in life is sharing our life, and listening to the lives of other human beings. And I am not saying this in a social media way, where we share fantasies and graphic illusions, no, I am saying it in the most earthly and abject way possible: sharing the mistakes, the dualities, the complexities, the dark feelings and thoughts that we don't know how to describe, especially those that make us feel ashamed, guilty and uneasy, those that make us feel inadequate, because in sharing we realise that we are not the only ones who feel this way, and that sustains us, roots us, contains us. We connect by sharing our humanity with each other. And that is what you will find below.
