INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
what date officially launch your web page?
In August 2006, the first version, and in March 2008 to the present.
When the idea and what was the initial motivation?
The idea came as a necessity to go beyond the boundaries of a village. Motivation: the challenge of trying to be part of a new universe.
Do you have any support or sponsorship to undertake it?
Do I support? The most genuine of all: the creators of Friends.
What is the most visited section and commented on by visitors?
Lately I have no idea because the page no counters or the like. Although in the first version, thanks to the counters, I know that many people came and most remote locations.
Any text that has attracted the most interest or public response?
I think my book TERRA AUSTRALIS. It has given me great satisfaction beyond the big village.
Can you make an initial appraisal of this experience on the Web? You think you've successfully achieved your goals?
My goals, taking into account the large number of writers who are on a planetary level, are quite modest. I think my expectations are, satisfied. See if not, I'm here with you, as if were the next door neighbor despite the great distance that separates us. Is not this a huge achievement?
What do you think of the fastest growing use of virtual space as a medium for publication of books, magazines, literary and personal pages?
In my case, all new to me full of energy. Although I am aware that this will take some time for you on the importance or the seriousness it deserves. You can even do not even get to see the results, but that does not bother me.
Do you see more advantages than disadvantages in the use of virtual space instead of the traditional publishing media (paper)?
I have five published books. Four in the traditional media. The last larval Poems, which recently published through Lulu virtual publishing a total success from the beginning of the process until final delivery of the material in front of my house. The difference? I have not had to pay upfront, I have not had to deal with anyone, I have not had to travel, even I am the sole owner of any errors in the publication. I can even send to print a single copy. It is a kind of panacea. In terms of impact on the public, for me, being a writer little lost in the ass in the world in an underdeveloped country, it makes one or the other ... for now.
Do you think that blogs have become an alternative form of distribution and expression to the traditional media?
I love blogs, or blogs as I like to call them. The log of a captain going through turbulent seas and recording their experiences to share. It's great. It gives us even the possibility of several characters at once. I started very tentatively with my blog From Terra Australis ( www.mariogallodesdeterraaustralis.blogspot.com ), but this is where those who enter have a chance to get my own essence.
Do you think that virtual spaces such as weblogs have prompted the media to renew their traditional formats and expression?
Definitely.
How do you think local cultures affect the atmosphere of "globalization" or globalization? Can you live on the margins of globalization?
Some look with suspicion. Others take it as a challenge and try to participate. Can not live apart. It is also true that the phenomenon of the Web is still leaving many outside because do not yet have the necessary resources. It is a forced marginalization.
How do you visualize the virtual world literature in a few years? Much
hold.
What are the virtual pages of magazines and literature that usually visit?
I have no one in particular. Arrive and fly. The fact that someone sends me something, I agree terribly, as if the only person in the galaxy.
Do you have contact with weblogs or virtual pages Peruvian literature? Can you name any of them? Yes
SWIRLS, surf the web and lapses. Although I must admit, without running any risk that another incalculable, that when I enter a page where I do not notice it. It's something mechanical. As if I feel a true citizen of the world.
What writers are your gallery accompanying readings? Many
. Actually a lot. And many more still do not even know personally and who every day are aware of my potential contributions to the literary world or the sciences.
What are the books or the book that has (have) caused the greatest impact on your creative process or in your work on literature?
Walden "? "Moby Dick? Would such of mystery and imagination? Dracula? "Revolution is an eternal sleep? "All Quiet on the front? While I try to answer you, I look at my library and, although poor in relation to the "large", the books lie there really have been read several times.
Can you define your web experience on a couple of lines?
Positive, energizing and motivating.
Any personal project on the verge?
Post, after almost 10 years, my novel C-58.
