    • 2015 December 14, Álex Grijelmo, “El ‘neoespañol’ que nos invade”, in El País[1], Madrid, →ISSN:
      Eso nos impide diferenciar entre posibles tendencias preocupantes asumidas por novelistas consagrados y probables despistes ocasionales de escritores intrascendentes.
      This impedes us from distinguishing between possible troubling tendencies taken on by established novelists and the occasional absent-mindedness of insignificant writers.
