The Casildense writer will present his book “Los Abandonados” this Friday, May 24 at the “Dante” Theater. He spoke with RADIO DEL SUR FM 90.5, and commented on his joy and excitement for this first book of his that he will present in a carefully planned meeting.
This Friday, May 24, at 9:00 p.m., the Casildense writer Walter Jimenez will present his book “The Abandoned”.
It will do so in the main hall of the “Dante” Theater in Casilda, with a careful staging and free admission.
On this Wednesday morning, in dialogue with the “Mornings of the South” Program of FM 90.5, Walter revealed his feelings in this very special moment.
«It is a mixture of great emotion and happiness. Being able to have my own book, with all the effort that that means, and present it in my City, is a dream come true»says.
«It all started with a mention that I obtained with my work, in a Provincial Contest. The Abandoned has to do with me, with my experiences, with my life experiences. But at the same time, whoever reads it feels identified, because these are situations that have happened to all of us at some point,” expresses.
Walter comments that «I started writing at the age of 15, first I did it and saved it, then I began to publish my writings in local newspapers and on social networks, and it came to this that seems incredible to me. When the book was printed, they brought me its copies in a box, which took me almost two hours to open… And when I did, I had it in my hands, you can’t explain what I felt at that moment.
«I am satisfied with the final result. The editing, the photography, turned out really well,” says.
Regarding next Friday’s presentation, he comments that «I decided to do it in the main room of the Theater… The adjacent room or another place, perhaps conferred a different intimacy and proximity to the audience… But everything is designed as a show in which there will be music, and lights, and a screen… I preferred that, to share with those who are present.
«Friends like Josías Aibar are going to accompany me, with whom we are going to talk on stage, to help me, because talking about oneself is complicated… Also Ale Lopíccolo, who will make some music… And Cristina Martín, who helped me so much to learn, she corrected the book and today she is a friend, along with the representatives of the edition, CR Ediciones”, Explain.
Regarding future projects, he comments «I write song lyrics, and we are in a project with a group of musician friends, and I am working on new texts, where it is not about writing in the first person, like Los Abandonados, which has my own self, but from the place of a character as a third person.
«When they ask me if I dreamed of presenting a book written by me, I answer ‘always and never’», Walter says.
