Cristina Fernandez Cubas does not introduce her heroines to us easily. She takes us on straight paths at first glance, and at one moment, she turns everything upside down. We discover that her characters are torn between two realities, the separation between which is very precise: the fixed reality, and the imagined or delusional reality. . One of them overpowers the other at times, and at other times a reconciliation occurs between them, without us knowing which of them truly exists, and which of them does not exist.
“Nona’s Room,” which won the Critics’ Prize in Spain (2015) and the National Narrative Award (2016), is a magnifying glass through which we see the complexities of the human soul and the mystery that surrounds our lives without us always succeeding in observing and understanding it. In it, “Cubas” reconsiders childhood and maturity. And loneliness and family, revealing to us that nothing is really as it seems, writing all of this in transparent language and in a unique style that gives it a detective touch, with skill and lightness.

Harmony with nature:
A message from nature to humanity, its content: You are not important. The air, earth, water, and sky are fine, without you. Life around us continues, and it is beautiful and still revolving. Let us remember that we are guests on this earth, not its masters, and let us realize that power, beauty, and money have no value because they do not give us. Air, water, land and riches, which we fight over.
Some of them call it (the service of knowledge), and some of them call it (the compulsory service), but the truest name for it is the name given to it by the public: (compulsory). Compulsory, no matter how much they cover it with national cellophane, will remain one of the heaviest experiences that a person goes through. He will live a long time and die, and the heavy feeling that there is a gun on his shoulder will never disappear.
