Manuel Benito

Manuel Benito nació normal, pero dejó de serlo. Devoró los libros que encontró, incluso esos que... Tuvo de mascota una salamanquesa, Manolita, que un se murió boca arriba en el baño, y fue enterrada al pie de un árbol. Mientras leía, terminó el instituto y se matriculó en varias carreras cuyo nombre no recuerda. También estudió muchos idiomas a los que no dio utilidad e hizo un montón de cosas que no le sirvieron para nada. Estudió interpretación y, con una obra ganó un premio, lo que le motivó a escribir más. El protagonista era un perro, nico guau, con minúsculas (las mayúsculas no le gustan nada a nico), que creó 1 revista, colaboró en radio, escribió en revistas de teatro... Manuel estudió Dramaturgia en la RESAD, pero a veces nico iba a clase. También asistió a talleres con otros dramaturgos. En ocasiones nico se apodera de Manuel, tanto que algunas obras no se sabe quién las ha escrito. En esta lucha, cualquier día Manuel desaparecerá, porque habrá ganado la batalla nico guau.

Manuel Benito was born normal, but stopped being. He devoured all the books he could find, even the ones that… He had a pet: a gecko named Manolita, who died face-up in the bathroom and was buried at the foot of a tree. While he read, he finished school and was accepted onto various degree courses whose names he does not remember. He also studied many languages he never used and made many things that were never any use to him. He trained as an actor and won a prize for one of his plays, which motivated him to write more. The protagonist was a dog, nico guau, in lower case (nico doesn’t like capital letters at all), who created a magazine, worked in radio, and wrote for theatre journals. Manuel studied playwriting at the RESAD (the Spanish Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), but sometimes it was nico who went to class. He also went to workshops with other playwrights. Sometimes, nico takes over Manuel, so much so that in the case of some of his plays one cannot be sure just who has written them. In this struggle, any day now Manuel will disappear, because nico guau will have won the battle.
