The ‘Book’ People of Alpujarra de la Sierra has hosted the presentation of the book ‘Coordinates’, written by the Professor of Compulsory Secondary Education, Antonio Jesús Ruiz Munuera, born in Lorca, Murcia, 58 years ago. Antonio Jesús is currently working in an educational center in Lorquí, a town belonging to the region of La Vega Media de Segura de Murcia. According to Ruiz Munuera «my last work collects micro stories of poetic prose and photographs. This book is the one that does seven. Before this work I have done black novel books, youth literature and stories. In summer, I will publish another little thing. I have already traveled three times to Mecina Bombarón, a wonderful town that is betting on literature, which seems very good to me. The so -called ‘Book People’ is also suitable for walking through the mountain and photographing it. In the presentation of ‘Coordinates’ my fine partner María has accompanied me. Francisco Javier Alcázar has been in charge of introducing me. The Alpujarreño musician Manuel Vílchez has also acted, and I have had the presence of the mayor and the deputy mayor of Alpujarra de la Sierra, José Antonio Gómez and José Antonio Múrcia, respectively, and other people, ”he said.
When an author publishes a different book than those previously edited and quality remains extraordinary, there is no doubt: he is a creator of race. The normal thing is the opposite: follow the line, repeat, hurry everything possible the model that has triumphed. But Antonio Jesús Ruiz Munuera has preferred to play it. Fulgurant successes in the field of the novel (José María de Pereda Award), Nostromo Prize), and the youth narrative (Alandar Award, Avelino Hernández Award), but has preferred to make a different pirouet For him they are of overwhelming beauty. The result has been admirable. Antonio Jesús has good friends in Mecina Bombarón, where he has presented his last work and does not rule out writing another book dedicated to the municipality of Alpujarra de la Sierra, ‘The people book’, because he has fallen in love with this place composed of the peoples of Mecina Bombarón, Yegen and El Golco and the Village of Montenegro.
