Storytelling is political.

Anonymous
Writer Juan Trejo appears this week on the ABRIL supplement's "Libros y Cosas" video podcast to discuss his craft and latest work. His newest novel, 'Nela 1979,' reconstructs the story of his own sister — a deeply personal project that shaped how he views storytelling. La Opinión de Málaga reports that Trejo believes telling stories is inherently political, a philosophy that drives his writing.
A Novel Born From Family History
'Nela 1979' marks Trejo's attempt to resurrect his sister's untold story. The novel digs into the past, bringing a lost voice back into the light. La Opinión de Zamora confirms the book centers on reconstructing this piece of personal and family history through fiction.
Storytelling as a Political Act
For Trejo, writing is never neutral. He says: "Telling stories will always be political." According to Diario de Mallorca, this conviction shapes every narrative he crafts. He sees the act of choosing which stories to tell—and how to tell them—as inherently tied to power and meaning.
An Expanding Platform for Literary Voices
The ABRIL supplement's 'Libros y Cosas' video podcast provides a space for writers to discuss their work and ideas. El Periódico de Aragón notes that this week's episode features Trejo's conversation about craft, history, and the politics embedded in narrative. The podcast continues to amplify conversations about literature and storytelling.
