Last night the gala dinner of the 65th Planeta de Novela PrizeAnd if a few days ago all the bets for the Nobel Prize in Literature were unsuccessful, yesterday almost no one failed. Dolores Redondo was the favorite for the vast majority of experts and fans, and the San Sebastian finally won the prestigious award.
Unlike on other occasions, there was not a single criticism of the winner or the jury and the award is more than deserved for this writer, author of All this I will give you, signed under the pseudonym Jim Hawkins and the false title of Sol de Tebas.
Dolores Redondo, despite the fact that she has won the Premio Planeta thanks to her manuscript, has a huge army of followers thanks to her successful Baztán trilogy. Of course, All this I will give you, is not a continuation of her popular trilogy, although all the writer's essences are kept in it.
The other great winner of the night was the writer from Madrid Marcos Chicot, who managed to be a finalist thanks to his novel The murder of Socrates and that he used the pseudonym Oscar García and the title of The Birth for his novel that we will be able to read very soon.
One more year the Planeta Prize has left us with a great taste in our mouths, with two novels that we already have on our list of pending books. It has also served to elevate two new writers, although in the case of Dolores Redondo we already knew her more than well.
