Juan Gabriel Vásquez and Sergio Cabrera in conversation with Claudia Morales

Colombia Digital 2021, 

In conversation with Claudia Morales, the Colombian author Juan Gabriel Vásquez presents his latest book, Volver la vista atrás, together with Sergio Cabrera, who will take part on-screen from Spain. This novel, based on the life of the well-known Colombian film director, is a fascinating social and political investigation, as well as an intimate portrait; it also presents a picture of half a century of history that shook the world. Among other awards, Vásquez has received the 2011 Alfaguara Novel Prize, the IMPAC Prize for The Sound of Things Falling and the 6th Biblioteca Prize for Colombian Fiction for his volume of short stories Canciones para el incendio. His novels and stories have been translated into a dozen different languages.
