FEATURED SPEAKER AT SOCIETY IN MAY
Maria Gabriela Madrid, known to her fellow Society members as Gaby, presented her newly published book, ENTRE LOS SURCOS DEL RECUERDO, at the May meeting of the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers which meets at Barnes & Noble, San Pedro Crossing.
The author read “El Misterio de Escribir” (The Mystery of Writing):
Para escribir hay que leer, hay que saborear los libros sin lineamientos, hay que profundizar e interiorizar lo que el escritor trata de decirnos. Hay que buscar el mensaje detrás del relato.
In order to write, the writer must read. He must approach the books without any rule. The reader must go deeper and internalize what the writer wants to tell and look for the hidden message.
Among her favorite authors, she named Julio Cortazar, James Joyce and William Faulkner.
Maria Gabriela Madrid stated it took her four years to complete the stories in her anthology. The stories are ones of magic realism, dreams, with a “tona fantastica”, maybe something like the paranormal genre in the mainstream. The author’s stories have hidden messages and surprise meanings drawn from the headlines in the news.
The author’s book is available at the bookstore, Books & Books, Miami , Florida and in July, she’ll begin a promotion in Caracas , Venezuela .
