By Camilo Argüello Benítez
live so high that seems bent like a question mark, Alonso Cueto is a parsimonious man of character, motivated not only by the topics that excite, worry and identify the culture of his native Peru, but by others as universal as the tortuous world of Rebecca, the woman whale.
Analytical work of his countryman Mario Vargas Llosa, the writer's hands thick, long, serious features, blends into the distance with a shy and secretive, it changes simply print shake his hand.
At his job as a writer Cueto has been honored with the Viracocha, for his novel The White Tiger, of the German distinction Anna Seghers, for all his work Herralde prize, award by the publisher for his work Anagram The Blue Hour; fellow at the Guggenheim Prize finalist escritres and Metro-Home America 2007 for his novel "The whale women whisper."
A negligible balance in the difficult world of writing in which many published but few pleasing to the reader.
At age 14, shortly after the death of his father, Cueto dabbled in the genre of short stories and poetry, and to escape from the traumatic time that was faced by the early-morning absence of the author of his life, the novel writer draws on the writings of César Vallejo, literary experience that enables them to understand that, somehow, its short existence is reflected in the words of those works.
"Literature has the ability to express profound experiences, essential and no matter what Vallejo has been dead many years, his work is dormant and leaves lessons as I left them to me. Definitely, the discovery of the death led me to seek compensation in the words, "he says.
WOMEN
WHALE 
Talk of Rebecca, the woman whale relaxes boy's face old and gray, forced him to reposition itself in the chair and confess his belief that writers tell autobiographies, "because they are known issues closely."
Today, at age 53, said that the craft of writing is a striptice upside down, an act through which the artist cap as his work progresses, you have experienced.
"The Whisper of the Whale Woman" is a novel that delves into the hearts of men excluded by physical or way of thinking.
Cueto admits he has much of each of the characters, that exclusion is a particular scourge in schools in the topic of body, speech or dress, "are mini societies."
However, it is a benefit exclusion. Section of society feel you can write stories and make sure that there is more company than a sheet and a pen while riding in the taxi during a transatlantic flight or morning sun quew lights his home studio.
"REBECA ME"
- "The Whisper of the Whale Woman" is a novel that describes features of the exclusion. How much Rebecca fed their experiences?
I have a lot of each of the characters and I think we all have some of it: women whale. Everyone, at some point we have suffered exclusion. Today, we can see in schools are the leaders, the subject, slaves and those outside it.
- Where did the woman whale?
Two years ago my wife told me she had seen a television show that brought a group of college alumni. One of them was a boy we all laughed. He told his former classmates, 25 years later, his jokes were terrible.
That seemed interesting and I started working on a novel based on two former teammates. After two women decided they were more interesting because it came out. Women live more fully the relationships.

- The story of the novel is narrated in first person by a woman How was this transformation of gender?
took the view Rebecca's friend, a woman who has her life settled. He spoke aloud as he read over and my wife helped a little. So we obtain a novel exploration of violence that leaves the past in our lives. I think many people do not outlive their memories.
- What is the whisper of women whale?
Well, the novel ends with a whisper. In the title I wanted to show the contradiction of character, the female whale with its huge body but capable of a gesture as light as a whisper. I think that title expressing the contrast of character with the huge body and sensitive soul.
A friend said to find its whisper, but really that's something we leave to the readers.
- Speaking of readers, how would you rate yours?
I believe in the general reader. These are subjects for the study of marketing. When I worked at a company told me 'we reach a kind of reader, male, 35 to 40, who has a car. " I think that one writes about oneself, to give the version of her life in this world and give it a permanent character.
I am honest, the best rewards I've had as a writer is when people say or write me something written by me, helped him feel less alone, that his life and character has some similarities with them.
WRITER - His name is popular in the world of literature Does it comply with any requirement before writing? When
you sit down and write is like when you're traveling, you know you have an itinerary that will not meet, you have a compass that does not work. Sales and characters begin to act, you go with, play with them. The most important thing for me, "before creating" is exploring, in a little in the jungle, open trail, see what happens, what I find, what appears. I demand only that, they write in taxis, flights, in cafes, anywhere where I get the ideas.
- Exclusion is a stigmatized word, but be a good thing what can it be?

- Exclusion is a stigmatized word, but be a good thing what can it be?
For me it is a great word. The writer is a character excluded by definition and that is good because one must be an observer, someone who looks at things from outside and that just does not belong to a clan but a witness, an individual, a loner. Solitude is essential, pain, silence.
