Goodreads asked José Antonio de la Vega:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

José Antonio de la Vega Bestial Labyrinth tells of a peculiar and complex form, a topic which has been treated by other writers such as Vladimir Nabokov ("Lolita"): love and attraction between a young and a mature man. In this case, a young student girl in her twenty-something years old, and her teacher, aged 45 to 55 years (my age). Personally it is a relationship that yes, I confess, I like to do for reasons that are irrelevant to comment here, and that excites me.

On one occasion, I had the opportunity to realize this dream of relating to a young girl, but for personal and social ties I preferred to stay out, do not try anything, not even suggest the possibility and instead chose to vent my dream in novel. Today, I long so much to live so ...

This book also arose because of the need to edit its contents. Originally an anthology of short stories and, because of a friendship that aroused me focus on making my dream of settling as a writer, I decided to turn it around and turn it into a novel, since it was originally designed so that all stories take more or less fit a relationship without a frame. I thought and wrote this book 20 years ago as an interactive book. So now, with the ease of technology, I saw that interactivity could be a fact and did the leading, but the absence of rights to include files, ringtones and pictures to link stories to these, I decided to give it a new twist and convert novel building something new: a plot capable of unifying embedded part and not all of the stories, so that the book can be read from anywhere, no end, no beginning, is a literary toy until the second and third volumes makes more sense.

With respect to the poems, these always have something that may be affecting my mood. And the writing of essays, such as the recent, can arise from a conversation say on social networks. People sometimes suggest me the topics.
