Noir novels came into play on the third and last day of the course "Crime and war in literature" at the Universitat d'Estiu of the UJI. After the incursion into historical works, machinations, intrigues accompanied by detective plots, murders and drugs were some of the themes analysed today, which concluded with a writing workshop coordinated by Rosario Raro.

The day was opened by the Valencian writer Ramón Palomar, author of the works *Sesenta kilos* and *La gallera*, who analysed the different authors of the new crime novel and the different ways of capturing in literary creations the dark atmospheres of books in this genre, and made special reference to American literature. In this sense, Palomar said that "the most important thing in works of this genre is how they take into account what is happening, the atmosphere, because I want to see the faces of the protagonists, the atmosphere of the time, of the place".

One of the most eagerly awaited speeches was that of Dolores Redondo, winner of the Planeta Prize in 2016 for her work *Todo esto te daré* and who has become a reference point for crime novels in Spain with her *Trilogía del Baztan*, *Esperando al diluvio* and *La cara norte del corazón*, which transports the inspector Amaia Salazar to the city of New Orleans. Known as the queen of the literary thriller by the definition of the writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón, she shared with those present her experience as a writer and her way of creating. "I visualise the place where ideas come from as a palace, where I am dressed as a princess and go from room to room", adding that "music is fundamental to my inspiration".

The Basque author explained that she greatly values "the author's honesty in narrating his or her emotions, since authenticity is what is important". In this sense, Redondo explained that "the places where we live have a strong influence on us, and for me, since I was a child, writing was a way of sifting through the things that happened to me, and once they were written down on paper, they did less harm". Redondo stressed that "everything that happens to me inspires me" and wanted to make it clear that "social denunciation is inherent to crime novels". She referred to moments she experienced as a teenager in her home town of Pasajes, which helped her to create part of the narrative of *Esperando al diluvio*.

In this respect, the author pointed out that a writer "is born, but is forged by experiences, it depends on how you have filtered them and it is important what they have left you with in order to be able to write afterwards. Afterwards, of course, there is technique and hours of work". In this sense, he concluded that "talent exists, but it has to be trained".

The last activity of the day was the writing workshop coordinated by Rosario Raro, in which around 30 seminar participants took part with phrases, poems and short stories on the theme of war and crime.
