‘A book one hour’ celebrates Sant Jordi in Barcelona with Milena Busquets and her novel ‘This will also happen’ | Leisure and culture

Antonio Martínez Asensio leads a special episode accompanied by the author of the work, Milena Busquets. In addition, in the interpretations Eugenio Barona, àlex Brendemühl and Pol López accompany us.

Milena Busquets was born in Barcelona in 1972. She is the author of the novel ‘Gema’, the collection of journalistic texts ‘elegant men and other articles’, the newspaper ‘Las Justa’ and the snapshots collected in ‘General essay’. He has just published ‘The Sweet Existence’.

‘This will also happen’ was published in 2015. It is a delicious novel about memory, about friendship and love, and that has an unforgettable territory, Cadaqués.

Busquets transforms personal experiences into literature and starting from the intimate achieves a novel that breaks borders and that translated with unusual speed to the main languages. And he achieves it because through the story of Blanca and the disease and death of his mother, through relations with his lovers and friends, combining prodigiously depth and lightness, he tells us about universal issues: pain and love, fear and desire, sadness and laughter, desolation and beauty.

As Carlos Zanón wrote in the country, ‘This will also happen’ is a path that opens you as soon as you start reading and at the same time you notice how it is closing after you. A special and unrepeatable book.

Milena Busquets has written a magnificent, exciting, deep, essential novel, a tribute to her mother: a way of understanding life and love. Because Blanca’s mother has died. And she looks for her on all sides. He travels to Cadaqués, on an emotional trip, surrounded by his people, and immerses himself in his memories, in his territory, in what has built it, in the person who has become, thanks to his mother, thanks to his education, to freedom, to the way of being. And finds it even in what denies it.

‘This will also happen’ is above all a tribute, a long letter of love and farewell to a daughter to her mother, who has just died. It is a long thanks to a way of doing things, of understanding life, of educating, teaching, of dedicating to something. It is an exciting trip with an exciting ending, a final shout torn exciting and essential.

On the occasion of this special date, Antonio Martínez Asensio also talks with the Catalan author, who has just published her latest novel, also with Anagrama, entitled ‘The Sweet Existence’.
