Culturplaza proposes a self-definition game to Valencian cultural agents, using artistic pieces that capture their essence. Writer Carmen Amoraga participates in this peculiar artistic biography.
As her own work, Amoraga chooses La vida era eso. The author explains that it's not just the content, but the writing process and the struggle to achieve dreams, like winning the Nadal prize, that define her. "The only dream that isn't fulfilled is the one you don't fight for," she states.
In the borrowed work category, the author highlights The Diary of Anne Frank. This work revealed to her the transcendent power of writing and reading, inspiring her to write to transform her world and, hopefully, that of others.
Finally, as a dreamed-of work, Carmen Amoraga expresses the desire to have created El corazón helado by Almudena Grandes, or any work from her later period. Amoraga admires Grandes' ability to visualize long-term and address the intimate questions of writing, despite the fear of a lack of ideas.
