The title of the new book by Cristina Fernández Cubas (Arenys de Mar, 1945) summarizes one of the vocations of his literature: to show what remains hidden, the mystery that beats on the margins of official stories. What is not coming (Tusquets) includes half a dozen new stories by the Catalan writer, who has been distinguished over the last decade with the Critics' Prize (2015), the National Fiction Prize (2016) and the National Literature Prize (2023). "When they called me to notify me of this latest award, I thought they had made a mistake because I already had it, but I was the one who was wrong," she admits with a smile. Fernández Cubas is not very prolific, but she doesn't want this collection to be the last and already has a new project in hand: "Some weird science fiction, the kind that only I would be interested in writing."
