The writer and essayist Laura Freixas Barcelona yesterday offered an interesting insight on the brief literature at the conference entitled "Why write precisely stories?"

which was followed by more than a hundred people who came to the hotel "Playa Grande" Puerto de Mazarron, where tonight's awards are given the XXVIII edition of the story "Villa de Mazarron - Mowing Antonio del Olmo" from for 23 hours.

The presentation was attended by the Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, and the Councillor for Culture, Education and Tourism, Maria Celeste Soria.

Freixas story praised the event and was surprised to see "what is interesting and unusual is that on-site beach, near the sea and these palm trees, you can hear a lecture on stories."

The presentation began with a defense of various literary genres, like the story, compared to the novel, or as "the diary and autobiography that I like but are grown less," said the writer who added that "it is impossible to start writing without having read tremendously. "

"In Spain there is no such tradition to write stories and other countries," said Freixas, who stressed the important role that has brought American literature within this genre.

In this sense, Freixas said that "the story was grown in Spain in the 50's but in a secondary collections of short stories in magazines and publications. Was in the 70's when there was the boom in Latin America with the arrival of a different literature to ours, more exotic and cosmopolitan, in which this literature was very present. "

It so happens that this competition has received this year about 1,500 works in competition, is a good example of the importance of the story in Latin America for nearly 40% of the stories come from that part of the world.

To Freixas "the story is a difficult genre because it must hook the reader from page one and the few pages of story needs to be changed by creating a new world, so that readers of stories must be very lively. It is different from the novel which is an initial effort pays off and then throughout the book. "

Like life, "good stories always tell a crisis of a character on, something happens in your life will change forever," so stressed the importance of stories that should bring "a moment of light in the darkness of our lives. "
