"If one day we women stopped reading, the novel would die"

Do witches exist?

One day I saw a woman with her long hair fluttering looking out the window: she was a witch giving someone the evil eye, no doubt!

Did it disturb her?

After a few hours I had a car accident. You don't play with these things.

You have short hair.

For convenience Paolo Vasile told me: "Your bangs are a sculpture". And so I go.

It looks sculpted, yes.

I dedicate my time to it.

Alfonso Guerra may comment on it.

He pointed out the hairstyles of Yolanda Díaz because before she was in the central government, her hair was disheveled. I will ask him if he combs his hair for taste or for servitude to power.

Do it in Y ahora Sonsoles, his program on Antena 3: rutlla?

He's growing healthily, he's a year old. I want to differentiate myself from TardeAR and it's hard! We look alike... and bump each other's elbows.

Against Ana Rosa Quintana.

They are pizzas with similar ingredients, and the difference is the waitresses who serve them.

What do you like about your competitor?

Kike, his rondinaire nephew, is good.

Well, this Kike has called you "planetary dwarf" and your aunt laughs.

Really? Is that what they tell me? What a great television innovation to refer to the competition! A planetary innovation.

You have just won the Planeta award and this can cause envy.

It is giving me a lot of satisfaction, despite painful curses: they have said that I have written this novel on commission... And I have been writing it for years without thinking about prizes! With stories heard in Galicia.

Do you do brochures?

They would give for a television series. I am compensated by readers' comments.

Share some.

A woman, at a book signing, said to me: "Dedicate it to my husband, who has just died, and I will read the novel aloud to him."

This impresses.

Women are the ones who read. If women stop reading, the novel will die.

Women star in his novel.

Women with strength, the novel came out...feminist? Oops, I need another word.

Another word for feminism?

Yes, because feminism has been tinged with confrontation between the sexes... and I don't identify with it at all: women and men should cooperate, rather than confront each other.

What else has hurt you, Sleepy?

They said that my agreement with Atresmedia included winning the Planeta award...

And there has been some harsh literary criticism.

A certain Jordi Des-gracia says that I relegate the novelistic genre to the underworld...

We respect the freedom of criticism.

But I am the writer, and it affects me. My balm is my readers.

The novel is already the best seller of 2023.

The best compliment as a writer has been given to me by some readers, which is what matters to me the most: "I had stopped reading, and I have returned to it thanks to your novel!".

Bah, that's because you're on TV, someone could tell you.

Blessed television! I bless her: she allows me to enter houses, and from there I take people to read novels. I'm glad!

Her friend Queen Letizia may have helped, too.

Oops, that... I'm sorry about that.

Because?

He read that bad review, decided to help me, and came unannounced. If I had known, I would have fixed it a little more!

What are they known for?

We became friends almost 25 years ago, working together in the CNN newsroom. She's my friend... and period.

And a friend is a friend.

we help each other I'm sure he's never seen a photo of us together - let's preserve this friendship out of the public spotlight. But now...

All the press about it... And so we saw how he dedicated his book to "Let".

That's what our friends call her, Let, just like another friend is "la chocho".

If Ana Rosa seems to be rather anti-sanchista, what is Sonsoles?

I? From the street I refuse to have on my program a talk-house with worn-out partisan arguments.

What do you advise your peer, Fernando Ónega, distinguished journalist?

He is self-demanding and very demanding of me: he prevents me from relaxing. The father has dedicated his life to journalism and today he regrets not having spent more time with his daughters!

What is your big dream, Sonsoles?

I have small hopes, such as, for example, expanding my library. But I don't have big dreams. I live by the day.

What would you like to teach your children?

I'll be satisfied if they don't sell my books on Wallapop.
