Manu Ortiz: «Como escritor, puedo reconocerme en el miedo de mi protagonista a no ser entendido»

Una conversación. Muchos pensamientos (y un buen puñado de curiosidades).

Manuel Botella and 10 other people liked Fátima Embark's review of Un lugar para Mungo: "Horrible, no voy a engañar a nadie. Pocos libros me han hecho sentir así, como si abrieras los ojos y te dieras cuenta de que esta es la basura que somos, la humanidad en su estado natural. Inhumana, cruel, absurda, asquerosa. Y entre toda esa basura" Read more of this review »
