"In the literature, currently confused modernity
VILLENA MIGUEL ANGEL - Madrid - 27/02/2008

On one occasion, a English tourist Marrakech lost half went to Juan Goytisolo, thought he recognized and asked for a street address. The Morocco-based writer reacted quickly and said: "Yes, I am so", and gave the name of a famous and best-selling English author. Then, Goytisolo guided the confused traveler, he left convinced of the invented identity of his interlocutor. Goytisolo uses this anecdote to highlight that you want to be invisible in a literary world where "is now confused with modern or talent with the visibility." For the author of In the Taifa kingdoms, "the editorial now aspire only to post sales champions and do not distinguish between an editorial product and a literary text. "

" I always wanted to write novels with questions and answers not to "
Born in Barcelona in 1931, exiled in Paris from 1956, Marrakesh resident for many years, Goytisolo has become one of the most unique and independent voices of English narrative scene. While no longer travel to work in newspapers and magazines, the writer is concentrated in recent times in his works published by Galaxia Gutenberg Full-Circle Readers. Yesterday in Madrid presented the fourth and fifth volumes, including autobiography and travel the Islamic world, as well as the later novels.

"Since the publication of these works," he says, "With the invaluable help of editor Antoni Munné, I could look coldly and objectively long texts. Thus, in novels such as Don Julian just have not touched nothing and, in contrast, have cut many passages Carajicomedia. This issue has allowed me to see what does not work over the years. " Goytisolo states that has tried to capture a different literary proposal with each novel, regardless of subject. "The issue in my narrative," he says, "is only one ingredient in the creative set. I've never been a particular writer concerned about the issues. Anyway, I fully assume all I have published since Signs of identity and my intention has always been to write novels and not to answer questions because the answers and give all the world. Is appropriate to ask, without falling into political correctness, on public and private. "

Goytisolo is convinced that it can be a great writer and a despicable villain in the same way that you can be a beautiful person and a mediocre author. "Cases like Quevedo and Céline show that can be misogynist and racist, like the first, or anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi, as the second, and create a formidable literary work." However, Goytisolo focused its ethical commitment in favor of the weak in the trial and journalism. "Now, in the novels I have only been interested in the literary elements," he adds.
