David Uclés

David Uclés is a 36-year-old writer from Úbeda, Jaén, Spain. He gained recognition for his historical fiction, particularly a 700-page novel about the Spanish Civil War told with magical realism, which became a surprising success. He is currently newsworthy due to two recent announcements. First, he revealed on a TV show that he keeps a notebook documenting his romantic encounters, noting the names and nationalities of his partners. This confession sparked some public reaction. Second, Uclés announced on the radio program "En clave de Rhodes" that he will be taking a temporary break from his career, lasting approximately one and a half to two years. He plans to travel abroad, stating that he is currently not "living" in his present circumstances. He emphasizes maintaining ideological clarity in his writing while avoiding distortion of historical events.
