The most recent novels by Elvira Liceaga (Mexico), Yeniter Poleo (Venezuela/Colombia) and Joca Reiners Terron (Brazil) make for intense experiences. The shortness of breath that can result from reading Las vigilantes, in which the three women protagonists have a connection characterised by loss and mourning; the silenced traumas of Las costuras invisibles, of inter-familial sexual violence, where the domestic becomes the political; and death, present from the very beginning of La muerte y el meteoro, set in the Amazon region, where the last members of the Kaajapukugi tribe survive.
All events on Saturday, January 31st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
