En Ausencia De Blanca (in The Absence Of Blanca)
(Antonio Muñoz Molina)
Mario, a young civil servant in the provinces, lives dedicated to his work, and to his wife, Blanca, who forever complains to him that he does not care about the way she dresses or the changes in the decorations she makes. His life is a steady routine; but what is not a routine for him is Blanca, for whom he feels a profound fascination. Together they form a complementary couple: he personifies simplicity, the security of the hearth, fortitude; she, on the other hand, represents the exquisite side of life, although this is also paired with the cruel contrast of instability. For this reason Mario lives a worried life, always alert. He feels something slightly worrying threatens their marriage. Something that perhaps relates to Blanca's dark past. He even goes so far as to think that this Blanca who is in his house is not his Blanca, that she does under this or that circumstance that which would not have been the decision of his Blanca or there again perhaps it would. It is a story of addicted and absent lovers. Blanca's relationship with the painter Naranjo makes him feel the more fragile with the thought that Naranjo could leave him without his Blanca.
