Javier Marías has long been famous in Europe, but in the past two or three years his reputation has begun to grow rapidly in the United States also; Penguin Classics has just acquired his back catalogue, taking over from the great New Directions publishing house, and Knopf will publish a translation of his most recent novel “Los Enamoramientos” in 2013, so there will almost certainly be a great deal of press on Marías in the US next year.
This interview with the BBC, which takes place at his Madrid apartment, focuses on the author’s work methods and political views, among other subjects.
