- 2022 September 12, Pilar Reyes, “Si Javier Marías tenía un primer párrafo, tenía una novela”, in El País[1]:
- La novela fue para Marías un gran mecanismo para pensar el mundo, sin denostar la trama. Abogó siempre por diferenciar entre la ficción y la realidad. Le parecía que no hacerlo era renunciar a una de las grandes invenciones humanas: la imaginación.
