Minimal Autobiography Workshop with Beltrán Gambier and Pedro Zuazua

A Life in Few Words

Segovia 2025, 

Hay Festival Segovia returns once again to the Segovia Penitentiary Centre, driven by the success of previous years, with the Minimal Autobiography Workshop led by Beltrán Gambier, founder and director of Intramuros magazine, which is dedicated to this literary genre. With over three decades of history, Intramuros has featured contributions from prestigious authors, including Nobel Prize winners Günter Grass, Herta Müller, and Mo Yan. Gambier is also a lawyer and author of several legal texts, including one focused on Penitentiary Administrative Law.

The workshop once again includes the participation of Pedro Zuazua, a trained philologist and practicing journalist. Author of En mi casa no entra un gato and Días para ser gato, autobiographical works centered on his life with his cats, Mia and Atún.

This is a valuable opportunity for inmates to take part in a high-level literary activity, where they will be invited to write a short autobiographical fragment.
