El tiempo de la literatura / Time in literature
El archivo de lo inmediato.
Lo importante es fijarse en lo concreto de lo que está sucediendo, en lo específico que solo podrá atestiguar el que lo haya visto con sus propios ojos. Esas cosas que cuando pasa el tiempo, se pierden o se olvidan que son los detalles cotidianos.
Es el momento de captar la realidad y crear un archivo de lo inmediato.

Lo que construye la historia es la gente que escribe algunas pequeñas cosas o guarda algunas fotos… Así es como nos comunicamos a través de los siglos.

The archive of the immediate.
Literature has two different times. One is immediate time, which is vital in order to be able to establish what is happening at every moment so that in the future we will know what we did and didn´t see. The second is a moment when our memory filters experience and turns it into something else...it becomes fiction, tales.
The important thing is to pay attention to exactly what is happening, to the specific events that only the person who has witnessed them with their own eyes will be able to affirm. Things which, when time goes by, are lost or we forget that they are routine occurrences.
It is the moment to capture reality and create an archive of the immediate.

What makes history is people who write some stuff or keep some pictures… This is how we communicate across centuries.
