Alicia from Both Sides of the Mirror Authors Carmen Blanco Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Keywords: writing, wisdom, love, freedom Abstract The writer talks about the almost absolute values –wisdom and love– which constitute her path and her goals in life, both in the personal and professional sphere. Her trajectory shows a revolutionary spirit, since her goal was to “change life, change literature and change Alicia”. And writing has been the means that has allowed her to live freely and to express these values. In this contribution the meaning of her writings is exposed, exemplified by her own stories.
