Spanish literary profiles and reflections on the Planeta Prize

The provided texts offer personal reflections on Spanish literature and journalism. One profile focuses on Daniel Ramírez, a journalist and editor-in-chief at 'El Español' who has released his first novel, 'Los días que no existieron'. Ramírez, who describes himself as a 'viejoven' (old-young person), draws inspiration from historical archives and the concept of the 'banality of evil' to explore themes of civil conflict and memory.

Another account provides a retrospective on the 2017 Planeta Prize for Novel. The author, who won the award in 2017 for 'El fuego invisible', recounts the tension of the awards ceremony in Barcelona. The event took place amidst the political unrest following the Catalan independence referendum, with the author noting the heavy security presence and the smoke from nearby disturbances in the city.
