Internet Browsing (the hyperlink is one of the greatest inventions of mankind) I find Henry's blog Paez, who was my first professor in the Writing Workshop Madrid.
It has been six years since I first came in the Writing Workshop. I had already a year in the city and could not get rid of the feeling that I was missing something substantial to what was happening there. There were still eighteen months to Madrid to jump into the air and little else for me out of town.
The workshop was a low of Ruiz Street in the heart of Malasaña. Henry presided over a long table and students will flanqueábamos. On the table was a jug of water, some coffee mediated a couple of piles of sugus, candles and smoking cigarettes in ashtrays. All very cliché, yes, but I guess we all needed something creative awakening, even at the base of a resource as primary. And that is the mystification of the literature, permanent falsehood, sits easily on the topics.
course, if someone hoped that Henry was the priest who officiated among so liturgy, is completely wrong. Henry had little priest. It was more of a colleague (very) outdone, a fellow thug who imagined a more throwing paper pellets giving the teacher teaching on the stage. You never knew if he was to decant to the cunning or to tenderness.
this course students learned some basic tricks of the craft of writing (now I think, rather, that this office is governed by the anarchy of having to relearn everything each time you sit at the keyboard). As avid symbionts, absorbed and we processed the stories of each one of us. Were discussing Kafka, Cortázar and Carver (Carver, always, Carver) as if it were the fourth left neighbor has not left us a wink or fishmonger has endorsed a snake bit cool.
were all going to be great writers. Literary prizes, publishers and cultural supplements were waiting for us. We were rather naive, but always be naive illusion (if not ingenuity and enthusiasm are exactly the same.) With the eye of an expert, Henry pointed to the weaknesses of our stories and we thought it would be great to just that apuntalásemos.
As often happens, the reality then went another site. Although by no means left to remember fondly all afanábamos we learn to write at the expense of stealing a few hours weekly to the world of the realm.
It has been six years since I left my first class with Enrique Paez Writing Workshop Madrid. Noticed a gurgling in my chest, like a tiny flame that was crying out to be enlivened. Soon after I diluted in the streams of people from Gran Vía If anyone had noticed me, had seen that was floating several inches above the ground.
