According to Cercas, the stories collected in his Relatos Reales (True Stories) discuss literature, cinema, friends and the normal and unusual events that occur during our lives, as well as a number of illustrious figures, some living and others who have died in obscurity, and various other things.
This is true, but there is another truth. I am currently working on a production of this work with Piero Steiner and, as our efforts at interpretation proceed, we feel ever closer to this author who tells us of his adventures; we begin to ask ourselves who exactly this personage may be.
He is without doubt a man who is (to use the author’s own words) “normal, ordinary, and thus a little neurotic; like me, a man accustomed to all that is ordinary and normal; and in any case, it makes no difference: a man to whom nothing magical or heroic or exceptional ever happens, this is exactly what happens”.
Perhaps it is in this that lies the greatness of this personage who, in spite of being just like the rest of us, lives reality for what it is: a thing of exceptional value, which it is a pity not to enjoy to the full.
This is the joyous and most important truth to be found in these works.
