"Javier Peña states that some authors possess life stories that are even more captivating than their written works"
=============================================================================
In an intriguing blend of personal memory and real-life stories, Spanish author Javier Peña presents his latest work, Tinta invisible (Invisible Ink), which debuts in Argentina in 2024.
Born in Coruña, Spain in 1979, Peña is a renowned writer, journalist, and podcast creator. He has published novels such as Infelices and Agnes in Spain, and his podcast, Grandes infelices, was born after the death of his father.
The idea for Tinta invisible came from a desire to work on themes related to writers' lives. Peña spent years reading over 300 biographies for this project, a testament to his dedication to the craft.
Tinta invisible is a hybrid between memory and real stories, reconstructing Peña's relationship with his father, marked by years of distance and a final reunion. The first chapter unexpectedly focuses on Peña's father, making him the connecting thread.
The book explores themes of ego, envy, obsessions, traumas, and extreme sensitivity in writers' lives. It combines personal memory, literary portraits, and short stories based on real events.
Peña found a way to connect his personal passion with an intimate tribute through his research for the book. He believes that there is more enthusiasm for Tinta invisible in Latin America compared to Spain. The Latin American tour for the book includes six countries and has been successful so far.
Peña states that writing Tinta invisible helped him close a grief inherited from his father. He expects the book's presentation in Argentina to be successful, but tries to maintain caution.
If you're in Buenos Aires, don't miss the presentation of Tinta invisible at the Verne bookstore (Juan Ramírez de Velasco 1427) tomorrow at 6 pm. This event promises to be an insightful journey into the life of a writer and his relationship with his father.
Engaging readers of various interests, Javier Peña's upcoming work, Tinta invisible, delves into the interwoven realms of culture, lifestyle, and home-and-garden, as it sheds light on the personal life of a renowned author. Moreover, for bibliophiles seeking enriching literature, this book also offers thought-provoking insights on the human condition, making it an essential addition to their bookshelves in the realm of entertainment.
