In 2012, Marias won the Spanish National Narrative Award for the novel "Fat in Love", but he rejected the prize worth 20,000 euros. This move caused a sensation. Although he insisted that refusal was not neglected, and his motivation was the way he lived in the literary award that Spain was awarded by Spain for life, it was not well received by the organizer.

"I have been trying to avoid state agencies throughout my life. No matter which political party is governed, I have rejected all the income from public wallets," he said. "I don't want to be regarded as a writer favored by any specific government."

This attitude also affected his views on the Cyndas Award, but he did not win the Cevantez Award, but it did not affect the Nobel Prize he was nominated.

"But I did find that some themes appeared repeatedly: betrayal, secrets, the possibility of cognitive things, and human beings, of course, and he once said.

"There are also persuasion, marriage, and love. But these themes are also the themes of all literature, not just my work. The history of literature is probably the same drop of water falling on a stone, but the language is different, the behavior is different, the forms are different, and the form is different from the place. The era is related. But it is still the same story, the same dripping on the same stone, since Homer earlier or earlier. "

Earlier this year, when the Spanish National News asked what Marias inspired his writing, he replied, "What I write is particularly serious, dangerous, unfair or stupid in my opinion. Obviously,, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, obviously, it is obvious that. I sometimes make mistakes, or go against the trend. "
