Eduardo Rabasa en conversación con Camilo Rodríguez

Mexico City as a labyrinth of youth, where every street corner opens into delirium, excess, and unexpected revelations

Dallas 2025, 

Novelist, translator, editor, and musician Eduardo Rabasa (Mexico City, 1978) is one of the most incisive voices in contemporary Mexican literature. Co-founder of the publishing house Sexto Piso, he has built a career that combines writing with critical reflection on the role of books in public life. His novels explore, with irony and sharp insight, the mechanisms of power, alienation, and the tensions of contemporary urban existence. He is also the founder and lead singer of the band El Gran Otro. At Hay Festival he will present The Hotel of Broken Hearts (2025), a narrative set in Mexico at the end of the 1990s that weaves together initiation, student politics, and urban delirium—confirming his ability to construct vertiginous, deeply human narrative worlds. In conversation with Camilo Rodríguez.
