TALKING WITH HECTOR SANGUINO ABOUT YOUR BOOK AND, OTHER FACETS OF HIS LIFE

What is the strength of your book, The effects of betrayal?

I believe that the desire of the reader for want to know what is coming on the next page. Because more than a story, the reader during is reading The effects of betrayal, will feel as if was projecting in its mind a good movie. The variation of stories mixed with a premeditated fantasy, undoubtedly will cause the reader, that hallucination.

Which is your favorite character in your book The effects of betrayal? Why?

My favorite character in this book is the poet, because he is the character who oversees linking each one of the stories, including his own. His suffering and the positive that he got from his love disappointment made him a bohemian in love. His pain in his soul, his persecution and subsequent revenge, would not be in vain because at the end of his epic adventure, Larissa’s love returned to his arms.

What do you want to transmit through, The effects of betrayal?

I want to transmit in this book is a thought that for many persons may be out of context. The idea that anyone who commits treason, sooner or later through the karma will receive its punishment, is evident in this story. The good or bad things that unexpectedly happen to us, are not by chance of fate, I think that it is the result of our actions that in advance, were written in the book of our lives.

Which are your literary references?

To have a literary reference that will has marked my way of writing, I am not very clear about it. The only thing I can say with certainty is that, as a young I was affiliated to club readers in which, through your magazine, you could buy all kinds of books and share with other associates, books already read. By this way, I devoured with my mind, many writings by different authors.  However, as adult I was inclined for García Márquez books.

Tell us a little about yourself.

It would not be vanity to say that, from a very young age, I possessed a writer imprisoned in my body, who in occasions gave me to understand that he was capable to get out and, change my life. However, when I see that would not have support from anyone, caused that my first unpublished writings and imaginary stories just be captured in pencil, on the pages of some forgotten notebook.  Possess the talent of listening a story and turning it into a composition, years later, would forge in me the first steps to write my first novel. This triggered an addiction in me, that led me to become a fanatic writer. My beginning as a writer, although had been in my country, only months after my arrival to Canada, I managed to make reality my vocation. Several of my works, although they continue unpublished, the possibility of being edited is not very far.

Based on lived experiences and real cases, which, in a masterly way I mix with large doses of fantasy, make me an author of a non-traditional style. This strange literary fusion which I make mention, the readers can find in my book, The effects of betrayal and in the rest of my works.

You got second place in the Calgary Hispano-American Contest, with the illustrated children’s story A beautiful dream. How about the experience of writing for children?

The experience of writing for children was wonderful, because when I was combining the present with the years of my childhood, it led me to be a regression of my past and I managed to find in my maturity, the child that I carried inside.
