Javier Marías Interview: "You rest in fiction." | Louisiana Channel

“There is a great incapacity to let the past be past.” Spanish novelist Javier Marías has been hailed as “one of the most original writers today” and is often mentioned as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. In this extensive video interview, he talks about fiction as a refuge and about his home country Spain – then and now. Marías believes that only in fiction is it possible to tell a story which is as it is without anyone being able to question it.
