ABC celebrated this most strange April 23 (Book Day), without the Cervantes Prize and without Sant Jordi, bringing together part of the industry in their most wanted wish: a comeback to literary activities.

There are few comparable pleasures for those of us who love books, than walking into a bookstore and picking up a new book to add to our personal library.  A pleasure denied to us, as well as our normal way of living, when the the alarm sounded on March 14.  Even worse, if possible, was not being able to celebrate Book Day on April 23.  With hopes that literary activities resume as soon as possible in order to keep this industry alive, ABC has interviewed a group of known writers and publishers so that they can tell us which books they will present as gifts and to whom, as soon as the confinement is over and we can be free to enter a bookstore.

Rosa Montero - writer: "I will purchase that little marvel: "El viejo que leia novelas de amor" (The Old Man Who Read Love Stories), by Luis Sepulveda, in honor and remembrance of my friend and fellow writer, Lucho, who died recently, a victim of the Corona virus, and I will gift it to my dear niece Irene, who probably has not read it, so that his work reaches the younger generations."
