It is the fifth book by Jorge Ribeiro de Castro, which addresses various types of writing, in a more contemporary and satirical way. A work known for his eloquence and deep sentiment coupled with a very rich vocabulary.
This book distinguished itself from your other works in what way?
Jorge Ribeiro de Castro: The difference is that I am using more contemporary language. I engage a little more in the satire, the comedy, and the other books are more serious, darker. The writing was somewhat poetic in other works had a certain eloquence, but they were not behind ramblings. In this book I have stories that have a certain storyline, but whose plot is discovered only at the end. We must catch the fish using bait, so to speak.
"These words that leave me" is a collection of short stories, chronicles and other texts. Why?
JRC: Why not? I had that freedom. I thought the book would be different. My third publication has eight stories, "the procession of virtuous" had somewhat of ghostly, of dreamlike, this book has some of that, but why not show what I think and what others think, but in a more poetic way?
The title is the unifying bond of all texts?
JRC: The title is a way to introduce people to the writer. To say they can read whatever they want in the book, which is why the words depart from me, what is written is not a realistic representation of what is the writer. Are only certain moments. The book was written over a year and a half, and of course, I wrote a few more things before and after.
In the presentation of this book, while writing that you abstract of what surrounds you, however, your writing shows much of the author, there is a deepening of the thought, there is sadness inherent in the texts. Ends up being a little about yourself?
JRC: Yes it is a bit of me, but I abstain from reality, does not mean that I refrain myself. A writer who can lie or tell the truth, always has certain richness. What I said is a way to imply that not everything is what I'm going to write is exactly a demure place. There may be a crowd around me that I abstract myself from it. At the moment I'm just experiencing the plot and story, nothing more. Everything I write has something of me, but if not what? I believe that we all have multiple universes within us. I, however, am more than my writing. I could write a melancholy way, because it's what I feel, although I am well. I'm not being fake, but all have a certain sensitivity since birth and why not be enjoying that feeling?
Your literature is described as being difficult. You think as a young author who suffers by comparison with the so called light literature that is closer to a certain audience and hence, the public say that your books are hard to read?
JRC: I write out of necessity. No, because people need to read. This being a young writer with five books and 39 years old, I find it somewhat strange, because to be an old writer in these wanderings is necessary to have a major editor behind and already sale books. I started writing at the age of 21 and have now gone 19 years of writing, although my first book was published in 2005 which makes me a young writer for the public. For me I am a writer trying to know himself, his language.
You have placed your books for free on the internet, why?
JRC: Yes the third and fourth book, because I wanted to make me known. Already had sent them to various publishers, some have not responded, others said they could not edit them, because they had a full schedule. I like people to tell me what they think of the books, but the fact is that I have many more stories to write. I'm almost finished a novel, is an absurd comedy that takes place in the eighteenth century. I have a book with short stories and poetic prose, which I will review. I write when I can, I have a profession, because I cannot live alone of writing.
When people read your books, then know you personally they have a shock?
JRC: People may think that I can be somewhat reserved, shy even. Just because I speak with a contemporary language in a way, does not mean I am not able to write about something deeper, intellectual or sentimental. I've been told that they did not expect me to be so. That does not matter, because I think there must be a differentiation between the writer, someone who enjoys the art of writing, and the person, normal as others.

A tua literatura é descrita como sendo difícil. Achas como jovem autor que sofres por comparação com a dita literatura light que se aproxima mais de um determinado público e daí, o público afirmar que os teus livros são difíceis de ler?
JRC: Eu escrevo por necessidade. Não, porque as pessoas necessitam de ler. Isso de ser um jovem escritor com cinco livros e 39 anos de idade, acho que é um tanto quanto estranho, porque para se ser um velho escritor nestas andanças é preciso ter uma grande editora por detrás e já ter livros à venda. Eu comecei a escrever aos 21 anos de idade e já lá vão 19 anos de escrita, embora o meu primeiro livro tenha sido editado em 2005 o que faz de mim um jovem escritor para o público. Para mim sou um escritor que esta a conhecer-se a si próprio, a sua linguagem.
Colocastes os teus livros na internet gratuitamente, porquê?
JRC: Sim o terceiro e quarto livro, porque me queria dar a conhecer. Já os tinha enviado para várias editoras, algumas não responderam, outras houve que responderam que não os podiam editar, porque tinham a agenda cheia. Eu gostava que as pessoas me dissessem o que pensavam dos livros, mas o facto é que tenho muito mais histórias para escrever. Eu estou quase acabar um romance, é uma comédia absurda que se passa no século XVIII. Tenho um livro com contos e prosas poéticas, que vou rever. Eu escrevo quando posso, tenho uma profissão, porque não consigo viver só da escrita.
Quando as pessoas leem os teus livros e depois te conhecem pessoalmente há um certo choque?
JRC: As pessoas podem pensar que posso ser um tanto quanto reservado, tímido até. Só porque falo com uma linguagem de certa forma contemporânea, não quer dizer que não tenha possibilidade de escrever sobre algo mais profundo, intelectual ou sentimental. Já me disseram isso que não esperavam que eu fosse assim. Isso não interessa, porque eu acho que tem de haver uma diferenciação entre o escritor, alguém que gosta da arte da escrita, e da pessoa, tão normal como os outros.
