Salma El Moumni and Diego Molina in conversation with Rosario Yori

First novels

Arequipa 2025, 

Salma El Moumni (Morocco) and Diego Molina (Peru) present their debut novels: Adieu Tanger and La fascinación, respectively. The first, winner of a France Culture award for a student novel, and shortlisted for the Prix Médicis, is a story about the destructive power the male gaze can have over women. After publishing three poetry books —Homesick, No somos más sabios después del diluvio and Expreso transeuropeo—, the Arequipa lawyer and poet has written a novel, and has indicated that he will soon move into the territory of the short story. In conversation with Rosario Yori.
