"Perfection says it's fascist."

  • He answered me easily.
Anjel Lertxundi

In the thirtieth first, the National Prize for Literature.

The muse, you know, I really like it, and I was thirty-one hands, according to the jury. And I didn't realize until they misinterpreted a gesture of mine!

I wondered if I would not have pronounced the fiera name...

Yes, he's hit the nail. For some, Spain is the name of the beast. For others, literature. Rewards are also black beasts for many. As for the national, the animal enjoys a great deal of the traits among the nations.

You know, we can't afford perfect happiness.

Perfection is fascist, says Nietzsche. When does a utopia turn into fascism? When, on the pretext of achieving happiness, he begins to clean up those who disagree with his model of happiness.

I mean, you have to lift the powders from the house, simplify them, be when they are?

Knowing and treating powders, even from home, are a source of allergies.

Quiet, the land equals us all.

You reminded me of the Egalité of the French Revolution. Under the earth, we the whole man, the worms that are going to enjoy us, the fraternity that is as it is, and I liberated it, which is the eternal peace of a dead man.

But in the meantime, it was best to be in the noble company.

Yes, you have said well: in the meantime. And in the company. Preferably, in nobility.

And just in case, fill up and fill the notebook with the dry.

Of course, in the sense that the sailors give to the land. You will know that the earth is firm. And for me, it's the land that the world has given me.

So you see the story of a loyalty.

I don't like to sacrifice anything. Not even literature. But I am faithful to him. How much, you'll have to ask my wife.

After so many years, do you have a Lertxundi hangover?

If years and fatigue are added to the desire to continue giving war, and if someone calls hangover, they are entitled to it.

While the adventure lasts...

Art wants to win battles over time. And art, in Basque, there's also time. Whoa sifo, hey.

Before leaving: What does the measure of the world look like today?

How do you want me to measure it in half a reed or metro, in euros or dollars, writing a story or a little poetry?

Haltzak badu bihotzik

Haltz bat dugu obra honetako protagonista. Arbola bat; mundua ezagutu nahi duen arbola. Eta, denok dakigun bezala, arbola ezin da dagoen lekutik mugitu, ezin da itsasoraino joan, ezin ditu bidaiak egin… ala bai?

Muino batean dagoen haltza dugu protagonista, eta lehen... [+]


Three interviews with Anjel Lertxundi
"It's very important to write books that talk about our things."
The day has been unleashed in Getaria, as no one is still playing in the open pediment. You hear the gulls. The bells of the nine are about to ring. We have taken the step back; we are going a calmer step, with a more temperate environment and with the possibility of working on... [+]

Anjel Lertxundi, writer
"The doors open to clumsiness"
The streets of Zarautz (Gipuzkoa) are empty. The people have a ghostly appearance in these hours. It's six and a half in the morning and it's cold. It's a gray January morning. The sea is alive, but not angry. You just hear it. Quickly and with the head covered in a black hat, we... [+]

Anjel Lertxundi, idazlea
“Buru pentsalariak falta dira hor goian, euskaratik pentsatuko dutenak”

Egunero egiten du Zarauztik Getarirako joan-etorria. Goizean goiz eta oinez, pauso azkarrean. Ibilian-ibilian, 25 urtetik gorako ohitura du hori. Ibilian-ibilian, ez horren pauso azkarrean, baina bai konstantean, mende erdiko ibilia egin du literaturan, Hunik arrats artean... [+]
