Ana Rodríguez Fischer won the 2023 Café Gijón Novel Prize with "Antes de que llegue el olvido."
An intimate and passionate novel that brings us closer to the great Russian poets Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvietáieva, from the point of view of the former. In addition, the novel, with a great biographical tinge, includes very famous characters of culture and art in the first half of the twentieth century.
I met the Asturian author at the offices of Ediciones Siruela to talk about her new novel. The first thing she tells me is that "it is not a historical novel. It is more of a lyrical novel. A faithful narration, but with elements of fiction.”
