La escritora Inma Rubiales: "Si intentas escapar de una pérdida, te pierdes los recuerdos de lo que viviste" · Autoras de palabra con Rosa

0:05
Buy a one- way ticket to the other part of the world, a
0:08
place where he lived the first years of his life and did not expect to
0:12
meet his best friend again. All the places that we kept secret and marruvial
0:17
welcome hello zonal. You' re all here, so nice to see you.
0:21
Again we were talking outside the microphone that I met you at the age
0:25
of eighteen. You' re twenty- one, you' ve razed.
0:30
I love that you follow this progress and that they, the listeners, will
0:34
not see you, but you have a face of brutal happiness son. So
0:39
nothing. I' ve been seeing you on a journey in which the novel
0:45
unfolds, because the world is too big to always be in the same place.
0:51
It' s one of your phrases and you' re going to Finland.
0:53
You your novel and your characters, because well I decided to set Jamfield
0:59
' s novel. It was a bit of fate, a bit magical.
1:03
I like to say I' m a very distinctive writer. When it came
1:06
to writing, he let me get carried away by those impulses, not by
1:10
those sparks that come up suddenly, and I was very clear, when I
1:12
started writing the book that I wanted to set in a place that was challenging
1:15
for me, a place I didn' t know, where I had to
1:19
investigate, about having to document myself and I was looking for a lot of
1:23
time, countries, places, small towns. It was clear to me that
1:26
he wanted a small town with wooden houses, snow and lakes. I mean,
1:30
I was pretty clear. I want this and suddenly a friend told me
1:34
so about the nothing that Finland has already had to make an exchange that she
1:38
had loved. And I didn' t know anything about Finland, but that
1:41
night I was curious to go to Google Maps and let google Maps doll go
1:45
to a random spot in Finland and fell into a village that gathered all the
1:49
features I was looking for. And I said because it' s already here
1:51
I' m going to set it up and now, to celebrate the release
1:55
of the novel, we' ve gone there, to Finland, not to
1:59
that little town, because there really isn' t much to see there.
2:00
But also what I was looking for, not to be a tourist destination,
2:02
but to Roba Nievi, where we have been at least eighteen degrees below zero
2:06
and that is that I have fulfilled some of the points on the mailing list.
2:08
We will now talk about the positive points and the negative points. Maith
2:15
runs away and returns flight and return. As I rightly say, one always
2:19
belongs somewhere, needs to feel somewhere and she doesn' t feel where she
2:23
is at that exact moment. Maive is a girl of Finnish origin who lives
2:30
in the United States with her father. Her mother dies with her. She
2:32
' s very small her father, like she doesn' t finish talking much
2:37
about her. Maibe knows nothing about her mother. It' s like a
2:39
little bit of an unknown to her. In fact, she, in the
2:42
novel, describes it many times as a puzzlia that lacks a lot of pieces.
2:46
And then aside too and she has a boyfriend who everyone thinks will marry
2:50
him, who already has as his future written. And this future doesn'
2:54
t end up liking him, so by one impulse he goes to the other
2:58
part of the world, to Finland, to this small town that we talked
3:00
about before, which is his mother' s village, where his mother'
3:05
s best friend and all his family live. And in this family he is
3:07
the protagonist of the novel. So, well, the novel talks a little
3:10
bit about how Maif finds her place in the world and, above all,
3:15
she also finds herself. Maith has that fault, her mother' s lack,
3:21
but more than the lack of it, she doesn' t know anything
3:24
about her. Actually, she has a little lack of memory, of memory,
3:29
of seeing pictures of her mother, of knowing who she was, of
3:32
knowing she looked like, of knowing what things she liked, in fact,
3:37
in the novel. As I tell you, it' s something that has
3:39
a lot of weight, this interest that she has in Ana. My mother
3:42
liked photography, and my mother liked it just like me, and I think
3:45
she' s finding things about her mother. That also helps her find a
3:51
lot about herself, as we said. However, he does not find support
3:54
in his father. His father, for example, does not appreciate that he
3:58
likes photography, nor does he keep any memories of his mother. He doesn
4:04
' t accompany her in that lack of memories. Of course, his father
4:10
is also a man who has suffered the loss of his wife and faces it
4:14
in a way that harms the mabe without knowing it. And it' s
4:19
a process that' s good that he' s slowly living in the novel
4:23
and he can' t say much more about not doing spoilers either. Not
4:25
that Connor how is there Connors good, I adore her with lords of my
4:30
favorite characters. He' s a good character by nature. I think he
4:35
' s one of the nicest and most loyal characters I' ve ever written.
4:40
He' s also a very dedicated character to the rest. I think
4:43
he is very opposed to his brother Luca, who is well known as the
4:47
two twins, Mayo children of the middle of the family, of the best
4:53
friend of the mother of may and for both have measured a loss both Conor
4:57
and Luca, very recent, and the two have a very different way of
5:00
facing sans riidad. No Cononor is a little more of locking himself up,
5:02
forgetting his problems and turning to the rest. And Luca is more than I
5:08
don' t want to be alone, because I don' t want to
5:11
be with myself and I want everyone else to be aware of my problems and
5:15
I want to party and I want to have noise to run away from the
5:17
noise in my head. Then I think they make a very interesting counterposition,
5:20
at least it has been at the time of writing them. And Connor is
5:24
a very good brother. It helps his brother a lot, perhaps too much,
5:30
perhaps he has a little bit of a savior with him in this sense,
5:32
and it is his idea to make this list of everything to do before
5:34
he dies. When Mail returns after fifteen years and he sees her and finds
5:39
her so lost without knowing what he wants to do. I don' t
5:44
want to miss Luca You describe him as a scoundrel with a self- destructive
5:50
attitude, a living man. So, well, Lucas is a little bit
5:56
here between us. I' m going to tell you that Lucas is a
5:59
bit of a jerk here among us and among the listeners. That' s
6:00
what I was gonna say It' s a bit of a jerk, Lucas.
6:02
But it' s true that he' s a very grey character.
6:05
At first, it is understandable that the reader feels a certain antipathy with him,
6:13
that he says jope which character, but he is also a character that
6:16
has many moments of light that are going to be discovered throughout the novel.
6:18
I think something also very fundamental in this book is that antagonistic characters are not
6:23
completely antagonistic. I think it' s also a point that I' ve
6:28
wanted to give value to Hey, no one' s bad or bad or
6:31
bad, but everyone has their story in this novel. Everyone also has their
6:34
good things. Everyone has to redeem themselves from things and I think it is
6:39
seen in many characters as Luca can be, as may be Maif' s
6:42
father, He is Maife' s boyfriend, who is also another character,
6:46
but he has enough to talk about. And if me Luca Peer personally is
6:49
a character that at first I didn' t finish liking that readers who read
6:55
the novel at WAPA loved it from the very first moment and surprised me and
6:59
I think I ended up getting some affection. Okay. Your eyes say something
7:03
else. Make is Mails' old boyfriend. He has a dominant attitude.
7:12
I don' t know that' s the profile of this character, that
7:16
domain over doesn' t support that Maibe has left or doesn' t support
7:23
a no and I think it' s a point of attention among a character
7:28
who dominates an abuse. Mike is a character who was quite complicated to write,
7:34
which even in the first version I wrote of the novel maybe I made
7:39
the mistake of doing it too bad. From what I' m telling you,
7:43
I think an antagonist too, even if he' s, of course,
7:47
a bad character whose actions must not be justified or romanticized at all,
7:51
I think he must also have a certain reason to be at the literary level,
7:55
that is, that you say is worth it. That' s because
7:56
this has happened that has as a background in the character novel become more round.
8:01
And if he' s a character who can' t stand Maffe going
8:05
outside, he also can' t stand that she didn' t want to
8:11
go on with this life they both had built from the very first moment,
8:16
which doesn' t end up understanding that she doesn' t want to have
8:18
you in the future. But it is also true, on the other hand,
8:20
that Maife has not openly communicated it to him either. So I think
8:22
there' s a kind of relationship between the two of us there, too.
8:26
Not certain conversations that have between the two that I, as author,
8:30
found very interesting to see because as each one has a point of view and
8:33
as these points of view can the focus of these characters or the function of
8:41
these characters, is that the reader is able to position himself not by your
8:46
approach, but by the path that this character does. Yeah, exactly,
8:50
I mean, I don' t say if a character is good or bad.
8:52
I think I' d rather leave it to the reader. This happens
8:56
in the novel. I think the toxic ones in quotation marks are bad,
9:03
that the novel is not romanticized at any time, if they are exposed and
9:07
even there are characters who say hear that is wrong, that is to say
9:09
themselves. But then, other than that, if you like Mike or not,
9:13
it' s no longer something that I should influence, but it'
9:16
s your decision. Just like Lucas in Johnny Hanna' s house, it
9:20
' s hot and smells like hot bread, butter and fish soup. It
9:26
' s the closest thing to a home, something Maife' s never had
9:28
before. Yes, of course for Mail it is also very shocking and very
9:35
hard on a personal level to get there to a home so familiar, so
9:41
warm with photos does not already describe that there are photos on the walls in
9:46
the wooden house such when really the reality that she has lived is quite the
9:50
opposite. It' s something very, very cold, where he doesn'
9:54
t have a very good relationship with his father, the woman his father married
9:56
to. It' s true it' s a charm, but Maife n
10:00
r na no getting along with her. Then, of course, she gets
10:05
there and suddenly she says jo is all I' ve ever had and she
10:07
can' t help but wonder if when she was little and her mother still
10:11
lived, if her house was like that, then we have a good one
10:16
there. I think little by little we are seeing how may is also integrated
10:18
into this family and how it happens to be one more. It' s
10:22
not the difference between home and house. Yes, a tower of chocolate donus
10:26
the place of a cake the following year and the next and the next,
10:31
until, a year soon after his mother' s death, his father buys
10:35
him a cake. Traditions are forgotten, like many details of childhood. How
10:41
nice, yes, that was part of the unpublished content that adds to the
10:46
novel. Which is funny because I always find it very interesting to know when
10:52
writers wrote everything. I don' t know if maybe it' s up
10:54
to me that I' m a little freaky in that respect. But,
10:58
for example, something that seems super curious to me is like you, as
11:00
an author, that is you, as a reader, sorry when you read
11:03
a book. The order of events in that book for you is one and
11:07
one and that' s it. I mean, you can' t imagine
11:09
that chapter five in the writer' s head might have gone before three,
11:13
but we do think about that kind of thing. And it seems to me
11:18
as very interesting to see how, in our case, we are shaping something
11:22
that when given to the reader, the reader does not pose either because its
11:24
role, which may have been otherwise. And in this case, all these
11:28
little ones, I like to say that they are, as foreign content chapters
11:33
like these little surprises, that there are chapters is everything that I put in
11:39
later and describe the novel and it gives it a lot of play and clearly
11:43
it gives it a lot of play and when you read it from the pull,
11:48
it remains as very integrated that no one would say that it is something
11:50
that has gotten into later. And this particular one that talks about Connor and
11:52
this custom that, thanks to him mab caught of not having cake on his
11:56
birthday and blowing chocolate tonuts. I think it also reflects very well this blur
12:05
made by his mother' s father of maive. Suddenly she moves to the
12:11
United States, the mother of may dies and the father wants to forget everything
12:15
that has to do with the mother, and one of those things is the
12:18
issue of her daughter not taking part in her birthday. Then something that was
12:22
so special suddenly happens to be something like what the rest of us do.
12:28
And when he told me about Finland, he may or may not recover that
12:31
tradition, he may recover it is not a way to face grief. As
12:35
you said before, grief can be faced by trying to remember or grab memories
12:41
before they go away in physical form such as a photograph, an object or
12:46
an odor or that which you have experienced those memories that do not exist,
12:50
because perhaps it is too small. In this case, I think Maib'
12:54
s father has a way of dealing with the pain of pretending that all those
13:01
good moments he' s had with his wife don' t exist. And,
13:05
in fact, there' s a conversation that I really like. It
13:07
is something that always emphasized in all my books, that in this case it
13:11
is Smath who tells him and tells him that one cannot flee eternally the pain,
13:15
because many times the escape from the pain causes it more flower and because
13:18
it is a pity to lose so many good memories only because when remembering them,
13:26
it hurts you then good. There' s a very interesting conversation in
13:28
this book not only has the weight of romance, it also has a lot
13:31
of weight of friendship, it also has a lot of weight of family and
13:35
many other topics. Death. Death. Death, I think, is the
13:39
main theme and well, I would dare to say that it is death,
13:43
but in the sense of taking advantage of life until the last moment, that
13:48
is, not death in a gloomy sense and in a dramatic sense, but
13:54
as more of a hole to death. It' s something that' s
13:56
going to happen to us sooner or later, which is a reality that we
13:58
may not want to face because it' s uncomfortable, but it' s
14:03
something that' s going to happen to us sooner or later. Let'
14:03
s hope that there are many years inside and all that process that we have
14:09
up to that moment is something that we have to enjoy every moment. And
14:11
for that you don' t need to make a list. Although I go
14:15
a little in control of the novel, I think that in the end,
14:16
the final message of the novel is this not to enjoy life you don'
14:20
t need to make a list of everything you want to do before you die,
14:24
but just enjoy the smallest things, which is the walking with your music,
14:28
for example, I love and go seeing the leaves of the trees how
14:31
they move, or being with your loved ones and hearing their laughter, or
14:35
celebrating a birthday or being with your pet, are like those very small moments,
14:39
to which we don' t give any importance, those that are really
14:41
very important. It' s life, it' s life to go to
14:50
heaven to make the Borealis now. Grandpa' s death is perhaps the natural
14:54
order of life, not because well, it' s not the same loss
14:58
of someone as loss of an older person. You always say good, because
15:03
this is the meaning of life, but I find it very nice when you
15:07
say it goes to heaven to make mo deales. There a little what I
15:09
wanted to convey the first is the first contact with the fair of a loved
15:15
one who has with ormaid that are very small. When that happens, it
15:20
even happens well before Maive' s mother dies, and also how she is
15:24
conor when she talks about that moment, she talks about how when you have
15:30
a very close relationship with a person, as it was with Mais when they
15:33
were little, in the end it' s like he himself says that the
15:37
lines of your personalities come to draw, that is, when they were young
15:41
the two, they ate the same cereals, they saw the same cartoons,
15:46
they even came to think the same things when they were so little. In
15:50
the end, it' s like me with my best friend as a child,
15:54
we were the same person, but different. And Connor talks about one
15:58
thing he told him when his grandfather, Hugo, died that he' s
16:03
a Hugo with two suus because he' s a Finnish man. And it
16:06
' s because Connor told him because Mayfe told him he didn' t understand,
16:10
because people had to die so small, his first contact with death.
16:14
And Conor repeated to him a phrase he had heard from his father, and
16:18
that is that he told him that is the natural order of things. It
16:21
' s true and conor says that he doesn' t remember or that he
16:25
doesn' t know exactly why he said that because he didn' t really
16:27
know what it meant, but he hadn' t heard in his father between
16:30
it had to be something true and mair. So, with this very important
16:33
imagination that the children have that I am passionate about, he told her that
16:37
of course it is that the natural order of things, what happened was that
16:41
they had to go to heaven to make the Northern Lights, because if not,
16:45
who will make them. Sure and to me it seems like something super
16:48
beautiful that in fact, I have also told my little cousins and they now
16:52
think so too. And when I come to a boreal aurora, that is
16:56
not here, but when I had announced it on TV or they see it
17:00
in movies or whatever, they always tell me and who speaks manufactured Aurora seems
17:04
to me like something, yes you spoke of friendship also an important topic in
17:10
the book Lid Ignora li is a friendship always at a distance and a new
17:15
friendship yes read is, in fact, a character from one of my previous
17:22
books, what I somehow do to make a wink at all those readers who
17:25
have already read several of my novels and to those who I imagine it will
17:29
make some illusion to find a character with which they have connected, to which
17:33
they have wanted in one of my new stories. So yes, but anyway
17:37
it' s also, I mean, it' s introduced so that,
17:41
if you haven' t read his story, nothing happens either. So it
17:42
' s like for new cool readers a character without more and for readers who
17:48
have already read my books. It' s like an addition to how cool
17:52
this character here and then we have sound is the character Mafe knows there in
17:57
Finland, who is a teacher at an English academy and she is Spanish and
18:02
also lives there. Then the two cones so quickly because they both come from
18:06
outside, both have lived what it is like to get to Finland suddenly,
18:10
this place, because so cold, in winter, where the days are so
18:12
short and that at first it can be a very hard chill to live and
18:17
quickly connect. They quickly become friends and I think they are a great support,
18:19
for each other, and more that they feel like getting in the water
18:26
to give you an ice cream bath, because Mira is an experience that I
18:32
had to live. I had to live. I was going when we went,
18:34
I mean, while we were on our way there, for Finland,
18:37
on the plane, I was saying I' m not going to get in,
18:40
I mean, I was already told that I wasn' t going to.
18:41
And there what' s very typical is that they went to the sauna.
18:45
You get into the sauna in a swimsuit. There it is very hot
18:48
and once you are completely heated, you come out of the cold morning,
18:52
at least eighteen or less twenty degrees, a thing that so with some cardboard
18:56
slippers that spread over the snow and go down to a stairs to a hole
19:00
that they have done in the lake and there you get in and I was
19:04
there well, we screaming at full volume and people. I was going super
19:07
quiet us screaming I said ay ay ay, because it was like a new
19:11
experience not being in Vikin already at minus twenty degrees. I' ve never
19:12
been before. I don' t know if you' ve been anywhere but
19:15
I haven' t been to Meda. Cold depends and when I came to
19:18
the water, I tried how to put my foot in and I was not
19:22
able, because I slipped such and remember with that moment I thought I was
19:27
alive, living is an opportunity. I' m here in Robaniev, in
19:32
Finland, on the other side of the world, and I' m not
19:33
getting in. I got her in here and I got in one and your
19:37
body goes in like some kind of autopilot. I didn' t even feel
19:41
the cold. In fact, don' t even fuck that I had to
19:42
get out. Until I was one of the companions that I had eaten the
19:47
planet told me to jump and I said oysters forgiveness. I have to get
19:52
out and I got out quickly, but I got out of there completely enchanted
19:55
and in fact, something I remember as with a lot of impact, but
20:00
at the same time, although it may seem awful, I loved the experience.
20:03
It was the noticing when I was out while because we were taking pictures
20:07
like this, a little joke like that and I was out soaking you from
20:11
head to toe and I was scoring how the skin filled me with frost,
20:14
of course, it freezes and it seemed to me like an experience. So
20:17
to say I' m alive and this is an opportunity. It must be
20:19
made clear that it is what Mail says and in fact, it is one
20:22
of the points that Main fulfills the book. It' s not much spoiler
20:26
and I felt like I had to. I also felt a little like the
20:29
protagonist. For the half- second I was in the water. Nothing like
20:33
living those you have planned not in your novels, I mean you told me
20:37
at the beginning how this story came about, like chance or fate. I
20:41
don' t know it got to that point and how you decided that the
20:48
story would develop there. A little. Maybe you projected things that you wanted
20:51
to live for the best. You didn' t know then. Sure.
20:52
Sure. Moreover, it has been very nice and very rewarding to visit Finland
20:57
after writing the novel, because I had no opportunity to visit it before and
21:03
one of my fears to go there was to say and if now it turns
21:07
out that what I have written is not true, no, because it is
21:10
true that I have documented a lot, but it is not the same to
21:11
be there and yet the opposite happened. I was there and everything I saw
21:15
was like this. I put it in my book. This put it in
21:17
the book. I' ve seen it just like it was in the book.
21:18
This is such and it was like an upriver to say jo, although
21:22
it has been from a distance, I have known somehow to dive into this
21:26
country and now, when I have arrived, I feel that I know it,
21:29
even though it has never been so nice And more, since you started

publishing with Neta shovel, I understand until we run out of star and after
21:37
giving you is in us are the novels that have sold most so far,
21:45
that you expect to find all the places that we kept secret, on the
21:49
one hand, in terms of figures, but above all and I think it
21:52
is the most important thing, that you expect to find from your readers,
21:56
because in terms of numbers it is impossible to know. I hope it goes
21:59
very well. I trust it' ll be fine. But mostly I'
22:02
ll take that second part that you mentioned. In fact, today I uploaded
22:06
to Instagram a small text that I always write the days of launch, which
22:10
in fact, I wrote last night, because I am always super nervous today
22:14
and I get absolutely nothing. And yesterday I said something like that, although
22:18
today I am going to be a press vortex, of firm interviews that we
22:22
also have this afternoon, I am very reassured to know what that means.
22:27
In the meantime, there are many of these books that are coming to readers
22:32
' homes, that there are readers opening them for the first time by seeing
22:36
those illustrations that bring the first edition or by going to the pages touching the
22:40
cover. And that relaxes me because it has to be, because it is
22:42
a book that I have worked a lot for myself because I am passionate about
22:47
writing, but especially for my readers and for my readers and I do not
22:52
know from heart that they can enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed it.
22:56
I anticipate it has a beautiful cover. Yeah, I really do.
23:00
A lot of what' s inside and I don' t congratulate you.
23:03
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I loved the interview a
23:04
pleasure. Thank you.
