Moleskine Javier Marías notebook @ Detour exhibition

Javier Marías Franco is a Spanish novelist, translator and columnist, born in Madrid.
After attending the Complutense University of Madrid Marías turned his attention to translating English novels into Spanish.
Some of the authors whom he translated include John Updike, Thomas Hardy, Vladimir Nabokov, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
In 1979 he won the Spanish national award for translation for his version of Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy.
After returning to original composition Marías won the 1997 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for his 1992 novel A Heart So White.
He was elected to armchair 57 of the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy) in 2006.

The handwritten notebook of the Spanish writer has no specific pathway, but it's rather a small literature event, a metaphor of space.

I guess I,m too lowbrow to enjoy this. At least it was only 30 seconds.

Why would a writer use a 6x9 Japanese style art book to write in?

I don't know which is worse... that I think the only answer to that question is "to be pretentious"... or that this makes me want to get a large Japanese style Moleskine to write in.

Well, that definitely made me happy. Currently reading the ms of the third volume of Your Face Tomorrow, and I think it's one the most important, and brilliant, pieces of contemporary fiction.

I really love Maria's work, "la divagación certera". One of the best writers alive nowadays
