the inspector returns Elena White and with it, Carmen Mola de Alfaguara before the Planeta award, before the Spanish thriller revealed three men hiding behind the dazzling queen—with a prize of one million euros: Antonio Mercero, Agustín Martínez and Jorge Diaz.
Inside Mom’s, the novel presented today in the València Botanical Garden – then the fourth in the saga Gypsy Bride, Purple Net Y girl– redrawn a plot interspersed with Carmen Mola terrible murders – men cut open and with a fetus placed where their intestines should be – to talk about violence against women in the form of surrogacy and police corruption.
But the topic precedes the theme, he says in a four-way video call with Mercero. Upgrade-EMV. “We liked the image of the corpse of a man with a fetus inside, not because it was horrible, but because it raises many questions. Why did someone put a fetus inside it? Who is this man? Who is the mother? Who are these? The questions forced us to pull in various directions and led us to surrogacy farms and led to the topic of surrogacy”.
“And we were interested in continuing that theme because we wanted to ask the reader as well. morality or immorality of such business and its results – adds Agustín Martínez -. Violence as a manifestation of evil and evil has existed since Carmen Mola’s first novel. And this violence is often directed at women or children because that’s how it actually is. But in Las madres we found it interesting to study how the female body became a commodity to be bought and sold, as in prostitution or surrogacy.”
In this way, Las madres follows the original purpose of black literature to show the corrupt or corrupt parts of society. “You must count the evil because the evil is there Mercero draws attention. And often evil is not practiced by psychopaths. The serial murder committed in Spain is femicide and has many criminals, often their own associates.
Inside Mom’sSurrogacy is emerging not as celebrities lying in hospital beds with the child they didn’t give birth to in their arms, but as women’s farms that are systematically locked up to get children pregnant. “Maybe it’s not a reality in Spain, but it exists in Eastern countries or Asian countries,” says Martínez. There is a market problem. But we don’t want to make a pamphlet against surrogacy, we want to raise the dilemma and for the characters to generate ideas.”
All three have an opinion, but in his case Jorge Díaz assures him that being “categorical” about it is hard for him: “As far as surrogates are concerned, it doesn’t feel right to me in principle. because it is the commercialization of the female body. But I can also understand that there are situations where this is an acceptable option. So just as we go through the thinking process about it, I want people to think about it as well.”
Mercero, Martínez and Díaz began writing the fourth part of the legend. gypsy bride before being together Creature and win the Planet with it. If this were not so, mothers nor she’d be ready in less than a year since Carmen Mola ‘going out’ and all that entailed.
“It’s been a busy and good year—says Mercero. The Beast’s introduction was exhausting, but it finally allowed us to connect with our readers after Carmen took shelter behind Mola’s barrier.” “We learned that we we are not that important Like Carmen Mola -adds Martínez-. Any of us could disappear from this trio and another person would show up and it would be Carmen Mola again because we have style and a name on us.”
“We understand the criticism”
The announcement that Carmen Mola is actually three men received a lot of criticism on social networks and in newspaper articles. There were those who thought that they were cheatedHe laments the “opportunism” of using a female name to empathize with the female public, and denounces the lack of respect for all writers who have had to hide behind a male pseudonym for centuries.
However, Díaz emphasizes, “The controversy was fierce, but it lasted less than people remember.” We understand the criticism and frustration. But then we met thousands of readers in Spain and South America, and no one said a bad word to us.”
Regarding Carmen Mola’s return to Alfaguara after her time at Planeta, Mercero says change is part of the job:Alfaguara offered us to write the fourth part of Elena Blancolooks good to us, and we did it. We write professionals.” But Martínez immediately points out that there are no definitive steps. “Both publishers understood that Carmen Mola had two lines. Elena Blanco’s home is Alfaguara because it gave it an identity, but we’re also happy with the way The Beast is going on Planet and we want to continue exploring the historical thriller genre. It’s kind of like joint custody.”
What seems certain – this is what the end of Las madres points to – will be the fifth part of the saga. We should capitalize on the success and popularity of the production of the new A3 Series, based on the adventures of Elena Blanco and the Case Study Brigade. “We are happy with the progress of the series. -says Jorge Diaz-. Director Paco Cabezas changed things. We would include some changes, some we didn’t care about, and with some we thought ours was better. But the resulting product is great.”
