Abstract: This book, unavoidable for the readers of Marsé, for lovers of literature and for all those who want to know, understand and remember a very particular time in Spain, brings together the diary that Marsé kept in 2004, and the notes and notes that I recorded the years that followed in several notebooks. Here are reflected his opinions on Catalonia and Spain, on writers and artists, on literature, journalism, cinema and politics, and their protagonists; his small and large daily struggles (as a novelist, as a jury for a controversial award, as a beloved citizen, father and grandfather); embryos of stories, memories, sentences and poems. An unpublished and unmissable Marsé: one of our greatest writers, as never before revealed to us. "The most complete and ruthless self-portrait of the writer": this is how Ignacio Echevarría defines this work, which he himself has edited; the book that Juan Marsé revised and corrected in the last months of his life and left "ready to be published," according to his own words, shortly before his death.
