The author announces the end of the Bruna Husky saga: “I don’t have time for all the books I want to write”
MADRID, 12 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The writer Rosa Monterowhich now brings together in ‘True stories’ (Alfaguara) their chronicles written four decades ago during the Transitionconsiders that the ‘Zorra’ song that will represent Spain in Eurovision is “very old” and has generated “an old scandal.”
“This song seems very old to me and a visual and scandalous old geezer.“explained the journalist in a meeting with the press, comparing this controversy with the one that arose at the end of the 80s with the performance on public television by Las Vulpes singing ‘I like to be a bitch’.
Montero has recalled how at that time “an incredible situation occurred” that led to the dismissal of the presenter of the program in which it was broadcast, Carlos Tena, and also the end of the group Las Vulpes. “And this already happened 45 years ago, don’t fuck with me“, he ironized, and then added that now there is “less censorship without comparison.”
In this sense, he considers that individual rights in Spain are already “well established”, while at the time when the dictatorship emerged it was “the reign of arbitrariness” and it was a society “full of holes”. ““Everything was extremely shabby at all levels,” has stated.
Thus, he has given as an example the tour that Miguel Ríos began throughout Spain to present ‘Rock & Ríos’, where “not being considered chorizo was an anomaly and asking for a bill was something very strange.” “Now corruption is more sophisticated, but as long as it is not systemic, we are doing well.”“, he assured.
That is why Montero assures that, at least in Spain, “not just any time in the past was better.” Although he now understands that society is “afraid of the future and before there was hope,” he points out that in those years at the end of the 80s “there was a lot of fear,” since someone would go to a demonstration and “they could be killed.” .
In the journalistic aspect, the Madrid author believes that the profession has suffered an “impoverishment” and demands “more literary ambition” in the texts, instead of seeking “personal ambition.” Besides, has set its sights on new technologies, which have taken journalism on “a devastating journey through the desert.”
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND FAKE NEWS
In this way, he has warned about the arrival of Artificial Intelligence, which not only “can end” journalism, but also become the “murderer of society“. “It’s like when the world got involved with the atomic bomb, but even more serious: the ‘fake news’ thing is going to remain in its infancy,” he reiterated.
Precisely, Montero has confirmed that he has already written a new draft of a novel for his series starring Bruna Husky, in which Artificial Intelligence will be very relevant. The author has confirmed that this fourth installment will be the last in the saga, since she wants to focus on other works.
“I finish the Bruna Husky series but she does not die, it is simply a closure to a project because I no longer have time to write all the books I want“, explained a writer who feels “very happy with the life” she has had. “I have lived everything very intensely,” she concluded.
