Margarita Mateo Palmer could have sat to wait for the compliments and to live of the glory after publishing Ella escribía postcrítica.  That much resounding is this book that is immediately sold out in the bookstores. But this remarkable intellectual does not please herself with what has been achieved. For that reason she wrote texts like Paradiso: la Aventura mítica and Desde los blancos manicomios, applauded by the public and the critics, and that has been recently endorsed to be awarded the National Prize for Literature in 2016.
Margarita Mateo says she always feels very fortunate "because there is a good dose of chance behind every prize. Also, of course, behind every book of mine there are many hours of work, personal effort and dedication”.
Usually, young people do not express much interest in the essay, however, seek the works written by this great woman who cannot help but dedicate to teaching. "The idea of ​​dedicating myself to just writing is tempting. However, the magisterium, which has been my essential professional work, continues to nourish me spiritually in more than one sense. I enjoy the dialogue with the students and the possibility of sharing with them the knowledge reached in so many years of reading and reflection on certain topics. The relationship with my students enriches me and, somehow, promotes my writing, " she says.
