The award-winning Juan Gabriel Vásquez (Colombia) is a fiction writer, essayist and author of 18 books; the translator of Victor Hugo, Joseph Conrad and E. M. Forster, his own work has been translated into thirty languages. Here, Vásquez presents his most recent book, Los nombres de Feliza, in which the author reconstructs the life of Feliza Bursztyn, a Colombian sculptor, born in Bogota into a Jewish family. The rise of the Nazi Party meant her parents had to leave Europe, while violence in Colombia sent her into exile. A friend of García Márquez, Saturnino Ramírez and Luis Caballero, she challenged the social expectations that her time sought to impose on her. Vásquez talks about his new work, a rigorous investigation crafted into a novel, with Ana Cristina Restrepo.
