'I live' is the title of a book by Max Aub from which the artist Anna Ruiz has departed to propose the Falla Castielfabib-Marqués de Sant Joan 2022. It is a story of calm, of enjoying everyday life in peace. As the author wrote years later "I look at it with affection because it is the book that could have been and is not", since his life was cut short by the outbreak of the civil war, the dictatorship and the persecution. The book, calm as the novel, will address the proposed theme from different points of view: historical memory, the beauty of everyday life or the need for a new world that puts care at the center, through poetry, articles, story or photography from the perspective of different women.

“Sorprendente y novedoso el llibret de la falla Castielfabib-Marques de Sant Joan sobre la idea de Anna Ruiz Sospedra que toca un tan delicado como aún oscuro tema para un amplio sector de la población como es la denostada memoria histórico-democrática. El llibret incluye fragmentos de las cartas de despedida de algunos represaliados por el franquismo y fotografias extraídas de "últimes paraules" un excelente trabajo de María Amparo Gomar Vidal. Gracias por tan magnífico trabajo, que sin duda sensibilizará al "mon faller" al todavía tabú de la memoria.” Federación Asociaciones de Familiares Víctimas del Franquismo Fosas de Paterna
