Interview with Antonio Soler

The writer from Malaga has just published a new book, “Yo que fuí un perro” in the Galaxia Gutenberg publishing house.

A disturbing book written in the first person based on a real diary. “At the end of the 80s, a friend of my mother gave her some books; One of them contained pages from an agenda that had been used as a diary. They were from a medical student obsessed with his girlfriend. All very direct and with a lot of literary power,” the author tells us in the cafeteria of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.

Normally, the “fish tank” of the Bellas Artes is calm and silent. Today it was the complete opposite, which is now becoming normal. We met there to talk about his latest work.  Antonio Soler is in a great creative moment as this small work of art demonstrates. “Starting from those papers, which are not a literary resource, and which were very shocking to me, a couple of years ago I dusted them off again to write this novel, at a time when psychological violence is very fashionable, unfortunately,” says Soler.
