for United the pain is plain to see. It's time now for me the author. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Marc Pastor is a Barcelona police detective and a novelist. He's | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
written four books, and one of them has just been published in Britain | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
under the title Barcelona Shadows, translated from the Catalan. It is a | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
wonderfully black story, a combination of crime thriller and | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Gothic horror. It tells the tale of a notorious Barcelona serial killer | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
of a century ago, a woman. Marc Pastor, this is a very black | :00:28. | :00:42. | |
tale indeed will stop Phil is in briefly on the plot and to your | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
central character is. It is pretty dark. It is based on the life of the | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
woman. She was a madam or stop she was a kidnapper of children. She | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
kidnapped children and sold them to rich people. Sometimes she killed | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
those children and made arrangements and potions of the flesh and blood. | :01:11. | :01:24. | |
It was a real case, she really existed. You have a notebook of | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
cuttings and notes which you compiled when you were researching | :01:33. | :01:49. | |
that. Yes, this is one of the oldest newspapers in Catalonia. It had a | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
lot of information about the case. And from another magazine we have | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
the pictures. It is really wonderful because you can see those years in | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
those pictures. You can see the husband, the victims. The last two | :02:16. | :02:27. | |
victims were found in her apartment. You can see the fake wall in the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
kitchen where she hid the bodies of her victims. Where she left the dead | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
bodies at the moment she was arrested. For people chasing the car | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
when she was arrested. It is like recovering a piece of dead | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Barcelona. You are yourself a police officer, a crime scene officer. How | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
does that help you in constructing a story like this? I would like to say | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
it doesn't influence me. Of course, my job really influences sometimes | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
in the words of a character. The way of talking, or the glances of the | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
murderer or what ever. In that case, I couldn't get inside the mind | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
of her. I couldn't imagine how a female serial killer could behave as | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
she did. We had a case in 2006 where a female serial killer was trying to | :03:34. | :03:48. | |
kill a woman in Barcelona. I investigated the case. The day we | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
found her and arrested her, I could look her in the eyes. You know the | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
silence of the lime - lands where Hannibal Lecter stands there. That | :04:07. | :04:22. | |
was the same. A sense of pride, so cold, like an iceberg. I thought, | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
wow! 100 years after the story of Enriqueta Martii, we have another | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
serial killer in Barcelona who acts more or less the same. What does | :04:37. | :05:02. | |
that say about Barcelona? It's a character. I wanted to have | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
Enriqueta Marti in Barcelona in a parallel way. Enriqueta Marti by | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
night is splendiferous, shiny, she moved among the rich people in the | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
casinos and mansions. She is like a duchess. And by day she is like a | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
beggar. She wears a black cape, she kidnaps children and she needs their | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
flesh and drinks their blood. It is kind of schizophrenic. And Barcelona | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
at that time was the same. By the night, Barcelona wanted to be one of | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
the most modern cities in Europe, with the most huge casino in Europe, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
with a roller-coaster in the casino, in 1911. It had a lot of | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
people coming from all over Europe. We had dowdy's buildings, modernism, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
we wanted to be the shiniest city in Europe. But by the day a lot of | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
people were dying on the streets. A lot of disease. You write in | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Catalan, you are Catalan. You couldn't reach a much bigger | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
audience if you wrote in Spanish. I don't need to because it is | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
translated in Spanish. It's a tradition to write in Catalan | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
because there is not so much tradition of literature in Catalan. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
There's not so much sci-fi or horror. There's a lot of crime | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
fiction but not this kind of freaky genre. I want to fill the blank. I | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
want to be there. I want that my language has a big tradition of | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
sci-fi and horror and all that stuff. If I have to begin, I will do | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
it. What do you call this book, what kind of book is this? A sort of | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Gothic, horror, crime thriller. What Tsonga does it belong to? The first | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
time I thought about the book it was a kind of Western, horror, Gothic, | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
crime fiction book. The main character, the inspector, behaved | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
like a cowboy, with the weight of the gun, he walks, like, give me a | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
shot of whiskey, man. But it is sometimes horror, sometimes crime | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
fiction, sometimes Western. | :07:42. | :07:44. |
