Workshop: The Minimal Autobiography, by Beltrán Gambier

A Life in Just One Thousand Words

Venue: Biblioteca Pública Municipal Eugenio Trías (Madrid)

Intramuros magazine, a pioneer in the autobiographical genre in Spanish, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, continuing to explore the form known as the "minimal autobiography." Its director, Beltrán Gambier, will lead a workshop guiding participants in writing their life stories in just 1,000 words.

Through theoretical guidelines and the reading of selected excerpts from autobiographies, Gambier will motivate attendees—no academic background required—to write four or five initial paragraphs (or a complete minimal autobiography) in the first person. These texts will be shared and discussed among participants in the second session of the workshop.

With the collaboration of Laura Ventura, literature professor and journalist. Assistant: Yago Cabrera Pérez
