Listening to Álvaro Pombo speak is a pleasure almost comparable to reading Álvaro Pombo’s books. Someone asks him a question, throws any idea at the writer, no matter how naive, and the new Cervantes Prize He chews it for a few seconds in silence. Have you understood what they have told you? Pombo’s sense of hearing is not at its best… Then, he starts talking, probably from an anecdote that turns into a reflection that remains half-finished. Pombo stops, reconstructs the phrase in a way that expresses with absolute clarity what seemed like it was going to be a digression but is not. It is never a cliché or a hackneyed idea. Then he expands it with cultured and popular quotes, passages of philosophy, gastronomic recipes, old verses and reformulates his rough idea, like verses from a minimalist poet. Pombo is funny when talking but Sometimes it is anguishing in those seconds when it seems like you are going to get lost.he is solemn and he is sweet and he has a fragile voice that resonates as his ideas become increasingly clear.
This morning, Pombo spoke to the media at the headquarters of the Royal Spanish Academy to explain how the Cervantes Prize that the minister communicated to him on Tuesday has suited him. Ernest Urtasunand developed his method: “I am very happy for this beautiful Prize. Cervantes;. Cervantes would say ‘I know who I am, I am the son of’. A prize like this makes one feel… Look, Cervantes did not have any prize. That’s the funny thing. They took him. the second part of Don Quixotethat was his prize. He was in jail, he was a loser. Gift Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra “He was a brilliant idiot, one would say now, he was a poor guy who only had talent, grace, humor, good humor…”
And what does Pombo have? During his appearance, The writer explained, piece by piece, the tools with which he has built his career. For example, the Spanish language: “My second language is English, I spoke it very well and I read it a lot. But Spanish is my liveliest language, the most fun, the most full. It is at the same time solemn, with great phrases , and comical and fast. You can do the hypotaxis of Ferlosio and you can make all kinds of comic jokes, instant jokes… It is also a poetic language. I’m thinking about the great poets in Spain. Furthermore, the Spanish language of many homelands is not only Spanish, it has many languages. The Spanish language is the gift of languages; We speak the same and we do not speak the same. “Variety is our gift of languages.”
And philosophy? “I studied Philosophy twice, in Madrid with Don Ángel González Álvarez, five years and again in London, Philosophy and Linguistics. The Philosophy that I admired was that of Plato y Aristotle; also that of Sartrewho is an important philosopher in my novels. Sartre said he wanted to be half Stendhal, half Spinoza. It was Sartre, who was already too much. I am a good amateur but I am not a philosopher, I am a storyteller. I’m not a philosophical thinker either. Paul Valery, in The Marine Cemeterysays that he does not philosophize, but rather takes his color from philosophy. I take the color, the philosophical eloquence. Philosophers have every right to kill me alive. They will say that whatever the color, it will be the background. Well that’s what I like. And I like philosophical eloquence. There is it in Plato and Aristotle, in Ortega and in Zubiri. It is very beautiful. Clarity is the courtesy of the philosopher, said Ortega. I am faithful to the philosophy. And to theology, incidentally, to rational theology, which is what I studied. I guess that makes me a man of letters, which is extremely bad.”
Next tool: irony: “Irony is a literary device, it is also a certain… “You have to not believe it”, that is what Cervantes irony consists of. Irony is not a primary feeling like fury or love, It is a secondary feeling. It is the feeling of an older person. If you are young you can believe it, you have the strength, the sunlight… You also believe it. I have reached the deepest age, and I realize how far you’ve come. Look, writing is complicated. It takes a long time, you have to read, you’re never satisfied… Not believing it is important because if you don’t get a thoughtful product. But irony can be deadly for the writer: it can become not taking anything seriously and that is deadly.. You have to take certain things seriously. “Socrates used irony to disarm the sophists.”
“I have thought about writing [el discurso de aceptación del Cervantes] on Mr. Vidriera“Pombo continued. “I have outlined something that would be called: Variations on Mr. Vidriera. Mr. Vidriera It is an exemplary novel and Cervantes said that there is no story among the exemplary novels from which some spiritual or moral or philosophical lesson cannot be drawn. I believe that a phenomenology of fragility can be made from Ellicado Vidriera. Not the fragility of glass, but the fragility of the flesh and blood man. More than madness because… sometimes this text is understood as the story of a strong-willed lady who gave some herbs to a man to eat and the man lost his mind. And then they say that crazy people tell the truth. The crazy people and the children, is a Spanish saying. But I believe that Cervantes wanted to make a phenomenology of fragility. That must be adjusted well because it is a complication to even say that Don Quixote was crazy. Cervantes never says it. Cervantes says he was ingenious.”
Pombo’s Cervantes is also going to be an act of justice, the recovery of a work that dialogues with the best European narrative of its generation. Someone, at the Cervantes event, remembered Stories about lack of substancePombo’s first book, and recalled that it came before and further than The unbearable lightness of being by Kundera. “The lack of substance is an Aristotelian concept, it is the Aristotelian hypokeimenon, it is the metaphor of the person who does not even have mail. The lack of substance is also used for stew if it does not have good bacon. The longed-for white bacon of stew Iñaki’s mother’s chickpeas,” Pombo said.
Iñaki, the young man who carries him in the wheelchair smiled. “The relationship between Philosophy and History is a novelty. I used to write without thinking about History. I already knew that man does not have nature but history, but I went to psychological stories… The first time I came to Juan Benethe opened the first page of that manuscript. I was really nervous in Pisuerga, 7 [la casa de Benet] before his imposing figure. He’s not a customist, I hastened to tell him, because JB hated customs. Before, my stories were psychological and customary. Then he entered History for a commission I wrote, the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. I had to make history but I couldn’t let go of my psychological interest. “I had the feeling that I didn’t take history or fiction seriously… The history of Spain weighs more and more on me and seems more interesting to me.”
Finally, someone asked him Cervantes’ money125,000 euros. “I am going to spend them sparingly, I am very bad, we are very bad with money. They have been very good for me. The money goes and goes. It goes in the cards, it goes in the fish, it goes in the market. Not in the vices, not in the parties, it also goes away in that, yes, but not for modest people like me. Money laughs at me. I have never had much, nor have I had a decent amount. Now this prize is very good. Maybe I’ll do something that I only did when I was young. I opened a savings account at Banco de Santander. My mother said I was going to be an old man. It’s not true. It’s a big deal, it’s just that we don’t get anything, it’s just that we don’t get enough money. My parents don’t understand the modern world: the money is not enough. This is the last thing I’m going to earn a little solid, I hope it works for me… It’s. a very important topic. And it is a very Castilian topic, noblemen and peasants, to save or not to save, stingy and stingy.”
