It is quite a heroism not to succumb to the temptation of a pseudonym to dedicate yourself to writing when your name is called Mamen Sanchez. Because every posh storyteller, with a truly common name, usually signs his books with bombastic aliases, scripted extensions between surnames or other resources. Everything is a matter of egos or business studies.
It may be that the indicated Mamen Sánchez draws on that same unappealable authenticity because it is enough and more than enough to gain a place for her name thanks to her very lively plots. Without also detracting from its hectic actions soaked in a humor almost healer in our days or his characters charged with an optimistic empathy, a vision of the world that explodes with color in his literature.
The tragedy can turn into opportunity or fortune in a new instance. The dark can awaken humor with the wink of a life assaulted without qualms. A positive literature, from fiction, but with that depth of well-constructed plots that end up providing extensible readings to our own chaos.
