Rafael Dumett in conversation Nahum Villamil

Incas, spies and astronauts

Cartagena 2026, 

Incas, espías y astronautas is a book about the recurrent concerns, sympathies and interests of Rafael Dumett (Peru). In this book of essays and prose, he looks to the past to visit some counterfactual historical scenarios; and, at the same time, turns his gaze to the future, imagining the obstacles faced by the first humans to migrate from Earth to new planets. He also traces a map of concerns that is both erudite and personal and reveals the scaffolding behind his literary profession. On all this, and the success of novels such as El espía del Inca and El camarada Jorge y el Dragón, he will talk to Nahum Villamil.

All events on Sunday, February 1st 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.
