Since 2019, the Hay Festival Arequipa has been running sessions in men’s and women’s prisons in Arequipa with the aim of fulfilling its goal of reaching the most vulnerable sections of the community. This year, the Peruvian writer, Enmanuel Grau, will talk about his book of short stories El fin de los tiempos, which relates the experiences of marginal, and marginalised, characters who have been powerfully marked by a failed system. He will talk to Raúl Romero, reading mediator of La Bibliobici de Arequipa.
