Deborah Levy and Rebecca Makkai in conversation with Gaby Wood

Querétaro 2025, 

Two award-winning writers share the floor with Gaby Wood. The two-time Booker prize shortlisted, Deborah Levy (United Kingdom), returns with a novel about her own life: August Blue, which is a revision of her old stories and a renewal of her identity in a dazzling portrait of a transformation. Rebecca Makkai (USA), shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, presents I Have Some Questions for You, a true crime story that hones in on the grey areas of truth, memory and collective responsibility.
