Humour and writing. Daniel Divinsky, Rafael Gumucio and Lucía Lijtmaer in conversation with Mariana H

Querétaro 2018, 

We all know that life is better if taken with a dose of humour, but how is that reflected in writing? These authors know how to add humour to things, through their narrative voices: the Argentinean publisher Daniel Divinsky, responsible for the famous Mafalda comic strip that has made so many people laugh; the Chilean author and comedian Rafael Gumucio, characterised by his direct, ironic and acid language, both in his published books and in his newspaper columns; and the Argentinean writer and journalist Lucía Lijtmaer, known for the roguish tone of her novels, articles and blog entries. They will talk to the journalist Mariana H about the importance of humour in literature and different ways of reflecting the comic (or the not so comic).
