La Voz this Sunday offers “Night Trains”, Miguel-Anxo Murado

La Voz de Galicia has collected in the book a selection of articles that Miguel-Anxo Murado publishes every Sunday on the back of the newspaper. Night trains and other tangleswhich was named after one of the articles from the writer and journalist section, can be purchased with this week’s newspaper at a price of 3.95 euros plus a coupon found on the back of the issue.

Murado writes his own turns the leaves in seven years. The volume that La Voz offers to its readers consists of 124 works selected by the author himself, a process of re-reading and selection that helped Murad to recapitulate his texts and reflect on the genre of literary columnism, whose natural space is the newspaper. For Murad, the author of significant books of stories such as Noise and cinza mercoresas well as travel chronicles —End of the century in Palestine, Japan Caderno— the column allows him to combine those two fields, journalism and literature, while experimenting in the form and manner of storytelling.

In theirs turns the leavesMurado (Lugo, 1965) allowed himself to write a story from end to beginning, another that rejected the letter to, and others based on brackets. For their articles, they paraded from María Casares to Jeanne Moreau, Muhammad Ali and Fernando Rey or CIA Deputy Director Vernon Walters, who included the Galician language among his many skills.

History, geography, literature, great biographies and anonymous lives, landscapes and climates, decisive events and short epic stories… all this is combined in a space that barely exceeds six hundred words, but whose mastery — approach, language, ability to evoke — enables him not only recounting an interesting episode, but also reaching the essence of what was told.

Murado uses his university knowledge — he studied geography and history — and the breadth of his status as an international news analyst to direct his attention to places others might not notice or know how to draw a story worthy of bringing his audience, which a writer always has in mind: for, apart from the reflections that his columns may contain, it is true that they all have in common an undoubted literary quality. A skill that La Voz also recognized and highlighted in 2016, the year in which he received the Fernández Latorre Journalism Award. Now, Night trains and other tangles It’s a perfect opportunity to meet again and enjoy your articles again.
