Author and columnist for ABC Córdoba for several years, Mario Flores, presents his new book “bend.” Nursery of evil. With this novel from Angels Fortune Publishing Group, the author delves into a suggestive plot that will ultimately captivate the reader. … Until it reaches an ending that connects all the ends that seem to have been left loose during the novel. The relocation of Fuentedueña’s apse to the United States is the central focus of the novel that will be presented on Saturday In the Luentine circle.
– What will the reader find in your new work?
-It is a novel full of excitement and suspense. It is a historical film we can say. It concerns the transfer of the apse that was in Fuentedueña (Segovia), which was acquired by Rockefeller and transferred to New York, where it is today. The novel does not talk much about the controversy over the loss of heritage, but rather focuses more on the idea that there is a secret hidden in that apse. There is a secret society that does not want him to move for a strong reason, and it is discovered at the end of the play.
– Why make the Fuenteduena apse the focus of a suspense story?
-I really like to take on historical motifs that are initially unknown to the general public, they are not very popular items. In this case, the relocation of the apse from Spain to New York in the 1950s is something that many people may not notice. With this idea, I want to talk about the transfer and create a suspense plot around it because I want the reader to know the story and recreate a fictional story that revolves around this historical fact. I was impressed by taking little-known historical elements and giving them significance.
– What feelings does the author intend to arouse?
– The emotions you will arouse in the reader have to do with suspense, with the emotion of not knowing very well what will happen next and why a series of events will occur around this transfer. Persecution, murder, threats, and I want to keep the reader in suspense because until the novel reaches the end, it does not discover the truth. The emotion sought to be pursued is tension, to create constant tension in the reader until the end of the work is reached and everything is revealed as catharsis.
-How was the documentation process?
-We really love traveling to New York. We already have a connection to the city, go there a few times and really love being there. And knowing that there was a Fuenteduena apse located there, I was a little bit inspired by this idea. We have a physical document in New York relating to Spain, and in connection with this matter I would like to give a little weight to this fact and make it known. That was what inspired me to say: I have to write a novel about this case, and to do that, what better way than to create an intrigue around it.
-How do you balance so many subgenres within the same novel without losing verifiability?
-Sometimes, cheating and I’ll tell you why. The Fuenteduena apse was moved to New York in 1957, but I took it over in 1948, and I take that license and explain it at the end of the book. The times are not exactly what corresponds to reality. I had to force the timing issue a bit for various reasons. One has to somehow adapt the realism of the story, so that it never loses its essence because what he told was almost as I tell it in the novel, quoted, but in another history. The essence of truth is respected.
