Ana María Moix's interviews, revisited. A book has just been published in Spain that is a treasure of journalism as it was done years ago.
Those interviews with La Nena were a generous, and truly fabulous, window into the books of those who would become essential creatures of the boom. She discovered the voice of the people like José Donoso, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez. In the interviews with those I have, it was not just the curious journalist who asked questions, but also their friend.
