Antonio, I want every CiÑe members to bring something
original to the ‘eÑe Celebration’ we are going to celebrate
it next Saturday at María Pandora´s Champagne bar. As
your novel is tittled Españ@.es, we can take advantage of
7
the occassion to make a short biographical sketch and start
to prepare the official presentation.
Javier Tusalle was who had invited me to that party, which
would be much more a single friends´ and colleagues’
meeting, as it happened finally.
- Hello. My name is Francisco Angulo. I have written a
sciencie-fiction novel called ‘La Reliquia’ (The
