Click on my face to see my other selves
Raúl Sanz García
Terra Incognita (625 d.C.)
The works explain the author more than the author’s biography explains the works. There is no need to look any further, and the facts can be invented to make them seem even less than the little they are. A CV will hold anything. I could say, for instance, that I studied journalism, acupuncture, fine arts, and philosophy, or that I once had a blind master who taught me to play the violin. I could also invent that I was a slave on a galley, that I earned my living by begging along the roads of a desert, that I worked as a fisherman, a paid painter, a lorry driver, a NASA engineer, a graphic designer, or a human statue. What distinguishes fiction is not its unreality but its mode of being real. I too, like any old Quixote, have believed I saw the written word breathing. Against this confusion, the trade of librarian obliges you to feel books in their mass, as purely physical experiences that get arranged on a shelf.
Since everything is a tradition — and anything can become one — I invite you to read my doctoral thesis (in Spanish): digital version / vegetable version.
