was the first day of the Fair Paper 2009 in Trujillo, went to present my book and that night presented Mario Vargas Llosa to discuss Secrets of a novelist.

did not hesitate and almost an hour after my presentation I went to the minivan to Huanchaco. The night began to cool but that did not prevent hundreds of reach people stand up against the giant back into the sea.

When you start the conference his secrets were the details of your new novel, which were summarized and reviewed in a February 2009 post, which I will copy as it was published:

In The Celtic Dreams (title), hide their old demons: the freedom, the fight against injustice and dictatorship, and the truth behind the lies of literature.

In this case, the history of Roger Casement, an Irish government agent-turned-Briton, who denounced the atrocities of Leopold I in the Congo, who spent a year and a half in the Amazon between 1910 and 1911 investigating the Putumayo Indians in Brazil and Peru on abuse and extermination companies that cause them to rubber tapping, and the Casement then transmuted a conspirator against the British Crown to find a similarity between the injustices seen in Africa and America with the oppression of the Empire on his native Ireland, discovering your Once a vein of nationalism. Life and offers an extraordinary wealth to any writer.

This is important to review some historical details, we know that Casement then befriended Joseph Conrad Marine who had told her all the atrocities that occurred in the Congo, by then the private property of Leopold I. Fruit of the cash and the travel experience itself that made Conrad, left this vital and raw novel about the exploitation and blurred boundaries between normality and insanity that is The Heart of Darkness.

During the talk we also discovered the Casement avenging the browser, the recipient of epiphanies that would shape his future political behavior, the conspirator, and finally, at least in appearance, the human being deep intimacy.

is due to participate in a conspiracy originated in Germany in 1914, which was aimed at landing a cargo of arms and men to support the Irish separatist movement, which Casement was arrested on charges of treason, espionage and sabotage.

Being already in prison, many intellectuals of the era, including Joseph Conrad, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Conan Doyle, asked for clemency to the death penalty had been imposed. In the meantime came the so-called Black Diaries, manuscripts open with a description of homosexual relationships with children and youth. That made that many people withdraw their request for clemency and executed Casement died.

described History reveals many nuances of what he described in his essay MVLL Roots of the Human in The Truth Lies (which also serves as a preface to the paperback edition of The Heart of Darkness) . The plot of the novel paints a gripping story that runs across three continents, the fight against oppression and abuse, whether in the Congo or Peru, the recognition of native culture, whether Congolese or Irish, and finally the power of lies, to assume that those diaries could be original, yes, but the result of the fantasies, moments ever experienced physically, but hundreds of times imagined.

And it's that open ended, the most intriguing of the night, the chance we have to express our freedom through fiction, to create parallel worlds to tell stories, the power of the lies of the writers provide deep insights of the human condition.

now home to the novel, I'm with the pen and post it in hand to close the circle and explore the secrets of our novelist.
