At the same time, just these days Antonio makes his writing facet public with the edition of Threerecently published by Malisia.

The stories in the book – 89 in all – include other “characters”: his father, Moris, his mother, his son, Oliverio, 11 years old. And there is him, the author, Antonio, who asks himself many things and answers some of them, on the path of fatherhood, but also in that other aspect that has marked his life, that of his son. “I am closer to my father than to my son,” he muses, at 53.

-How did the idea for this book come about and what was the original idea that prompted you to write?

-It arises from necessity mixed with curiosity, which are two very powerful engines. And also the transmission: the words rained down on me and they weren’t words for songs, so I realized that there was more. They were stories, which had another destiny. There the ideal of the book appears.

-Although it’s not an autobiography, as you said, Tres has a high dose of autobiographical components. Beyond something that reflects your experience, what would you say that gives a story its narrative potential?

-The biggest potential is that … it’s all true. Fabián Casas says something very nice on the back cover: that here is the power of life. Textually, he says: “The mental operation that could be stolen from him: how to write without making literature, writing with the power of life”.

And this power has to do with what I’m telling you, that there came cataracts of words that didn’t fit the shape of the songs. And then I started filling in the notebooks, they were like dictations that came from family memories, from the past that intersected with this present …

On the other hand, I have been “playing” with words for almost an entire life, in this sense it is a very close exercise, the act of writing.
