- 2022 September 12, Pilar Reyes, “Si Javier Marías tenía un primer párrafo, tenía una novela”, in El País, retrieved 2023-06-08:
- Pero yo sabía lo que significaba eso: si Javier tenía ya un primer párrafo, tenía una novela. El párrafo inicial de todas sus novelas contiene la novela entera, aunque él se reconociera como un escritor con brújula y no con mapa, es decir, que iba descubriendo el libro a medida que lo iba escribiendo.
- But I knew what that meant: if Javier already had a first paragraph, he had a novel. The opening paragraph of all his novels contained the entire novel, although he considered he recognized himself as a writer with a compass and not with a map, that is, he was discovering the book as he was writing it.
- chat; chitchat
- echar un párrafo ― have a chat
