Animal companions

Cartagena 2024, 

What do Glinka and Humilda have in common, the respective protagonists of the latest books by this event’s guests, Arnoldo Kraus (Mexico) and Alonso Sánchez Baute (Colombia)? Both were much loved dogs, whose families had to say goodbye to them at the end of their lives. With their publications as a starting point, books in which they reflect on the sudden absence of a pet, Arnoldo Kraus, the author of Adiós, Glinka, and Alonso Sánchez Baute, the author of La mirada de Humilda, will talk about the experience of having a pet and learning to deal with its death, and with the responsibilities and emotional impact involved. In conversation with Guido Tamayo.
