"We cannot know what time will do to us with its fine, indistinguishable layers upon layers, we cannot know what it might make of us." Javier Marías, Spanish author of books such as 'A Heart So White' and 'The Infatuations', passed away a year ago, on September 11th at the age of 70. He was not only a novelist, but a respected newspaper columnist, and an award-winning translator... both of these jobs greatly influenced and elevated his work, and his literature is still regarded as some of Spain's best years after it was first published. To remember him today, a year after his passing, we have with us on the English Language Broadcast Professor Alexis Grohmann, head of the Edinburgh Cervantes Institute and Professor of Spanish Literature.
