Javier Cercas in conversation with Emiliano Monge

Book of the month

Querétaro 2021, 
The award-winning Spanish writer and columnist, Javier Cercas, is the author of around a dozen novels, including the classic Soldiers of Salamis, and his work has been translated into over 30 languages. His most recent work is Independencia (2021), which features the return of Melchor Marín, the detective and protagonist of the bestselling Terra Alta (2019 Planeta Prize). This time he will have to unravel a case of blackmail, the victim of which is the mayor of Barcelona. The matter brings him into contact with all the vices and perversions of the highest spheres of political and economic power in the city. He will talk to the Mexican writer Emiliano Monge.
