Those who work from home, especially freelancers, are the most prone to loneliness. <p>In his essay <i>Writing Is Ceasing to Be a Writer</i>, Enrique Vila-Matas recounts that he chose his profession because he wanted to be free and didn’t want to go to an office every morning. When he made that decision, he didn’t know he would end up living “like a mole in a tunnel, working day and night.” In interviews and memoirs, many novelists admit that, aside from their calling, what they wanted most when they began writing was to escape the cold of the street by staying home on those weekday mornings when most employees are commuting and going about their daily routines. Shortly afterward, they realized that “calling someone a disciplined author is redundant,” as Juan José Millás often points out, because literature demands many hours of concentration each day.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/health/2026-04-05/how-the-loneliness-of-working-from-home-can-affect-mental-health-the-lab-coat-mentality-is-dangerous.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-03-31/monterrey-the-world-capital-of-carnita-asada.html Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:24:46 GMT https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-03-31/monterrey-the-world-capital-of-carnita-asada.html Verónica Garrido Grill culture prepares for the World Cup, with a stadium, businesses and families ready to receive thousands of fans Grill culture prepares for the World Cup, with a stadium, businesses and families ready to receive thousands of fans México Monterrey Emiliano Molina (EL PAÍS) MEXICO -CARNITA ASADA - MONTERREY - EL PAIS Meat on the grill near the BBVA Stadium in Guadalupe on March 21.
