He wished to be a author from the tenderest childhood. However life and a teenage crush took him down different paths. CarlosZanón enrolled in Journalism "after rejecting Philology, however later I signed up for Legislation due to a lady I appreciated, though it did not work out as a result of I went there within the afternoon and she or he within the morning". The connection didn't come to fruition, however Zanón grew to become a lawyer and practiced for a number of years, though "the writing factor continued to bounce in my head". He wrote and revealed music-themed poetry and novels till he opted for black and made a spot for himself within the literary scene with titles comparable to No llames a casa or Yo fui Johnny Thunders.
"And I used to be in a position to cease being a lawyer", he explains in an interview granted to La Vanguardia whereas he was on the Malaga Competition the place he was a part of the critics' jury. The letters opened new doorways for Zanón. The author had already collaborated with Avui newspaper as a literary critic, however his novels allowed La Vanguardia to find him to develop a brand new vocation, that of a columnist.
This occurred in 2016 and since then Zanón publishes 4 weekly collaborations on this newspaper: “They let me write slightly little bit of every little thing. I've at all times been clear that I am not a journalist and that is why I attempt to make literary items which are entertaining and never essentially topical. I am impressed by instances that do not normally seem within the press, I search for the look", he explains.
Now, this look has turn out to be a ebook as a result of Salamandra, Zanón's writer, has chosen the very best columns revealed by the author in La Vanguardia and has turned them right into a ebook, Cien formas de romper un glacier which "is a thematic choice in ten blocks of ten columns every”. Zanón discarded his sports activities articles and in addition the political ones, comparable to these referring to the method, "which had been very linked to the second and will have aged badly".
"I selected the columns I appreciated probably the most and the result's a ebook that may be learn like a ebook of poems, not essentially adopted", provides the columnist, who has a shrewd look and in addition a nostalgic hair: "It is likely one of the notes that I take advantage of, however not as if the previous had been a greater place, however as a brand new place, as a result of it's not true that the previous time, envied time, nor the earlier one ought to forestall us from wanting in direction of the long run".
Manuel Jabois maintains within the prologue of Cien formas de break un glacier that the columnist's life isn't so simple as it's made out to be, as a result of generally discovering a subject to jot down about is a problem and since the supposed favored ones who seem in his columns don't they at all times see this point out as a flattery.
He at all times has "the radar on" and though he delivers the texts on Fridays, "on Mondays I am already serious about what I can discuss, it is a matter of happening to the road and paying attention". And if you cannot consider something, you'll be able to at all times flip to your creativeness. For one thing he's a author. Within the column that offers the ebook its title, for instance, Zanón defined when a girlfriend left him throughout a visit to Iceland. "I've by no means been to Iceland", he confesses now.
However actual or invented, tales enchantment to readers, "who see themselves represented in them". "I discover plenty of affection and a superb reception", concludes Zanón, who doesn't wish to say goodbye with out thanking "Miquel Molina, Lola García and Joan Josep Pallàs, who assist me at La Vanguardia each week".
