Journalist and writer Rubén Amón will present his book 'Morante, Full Stop' on the 13th in Marbella.

The Royal Hospital of Mercy will host an event tomorrow, February 13th, at 7:00 PM, featuring journalist and writer Rubén Amón discussing his book 'Morante, punto y aparte'. The event, introduced by fellow journalist Paco Reyero, will be open to the public until full capacity is reached. The occasion will provide a deep reflection on the figure of Morante de la Puebla, analyzing the reasons, and also the irrationalities, that have turned the bullfighter into a mass phenomenon, a countercultural idol, and an extreme artistic representation. Morante's transformation into a social, political, aesthetic, and cultural symbol has coincided with his most captivating season in 2025, consolidating him as a transversal figure that transcends the strictly bullfighting sphere.

In this work, Rubén Amón captures the moment before the phenomenon dissipates, attempting to narrate a process that no one has fully explained. The author approaches 'morantismo' not as a fleeting trend, but as a symptom, a way of understanding art, identity, and nostalgia. The result is a lively, passionate, literary, and critical book that combines journalistic chronicle with rigorous essay, accompanying the enigma of Morante without attempting to tame it.

The author is the director and presenter of 'La Cultureta' on Onda Cero, a leading program dedicated to cultural news. He participates in the high-audience discussion panel of 'El Hormiguero' on Antena 3, and in 'Más de Uno', the morning show directed by Carlos Alsina on Onda Cero. Additionally, he writes about art and politics for 'El Confidencial' and is one of the country's most followed journalists for his personal style and discernment. With a degree in Journalism, he began his professional career at 18 years old on Antena 3 radio and has served as a correspondent in Rome, Paris, and the war in the Balkans.
