Juan Cruz in conversation with Cristina Fuentes La Roche
Literature versus Reality
Venue: Torreón de Lozoya
A thoughtful dialogue between a seasoned writer with a cultural manager on our environment, the dramatic changes taking place, in Europe in particular, and what the future holds, if indeed anything can be predicted. Canary Islander Juan Cruz, man of the periphery, where different cultures converge, and Cristina Fuentes La Roche, International Director of Hay Festival, will discuss how literature can confront and allay all this uncertainty.
Cruz has just published Secreto y pasión de la literatura, a "luminous and passionate" portrait of great contemporary authors such as Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García-Márquez, Jorge Semprún and Jorge Luis Borges.
There will be a book signing after the event.
