Janne Teller in conversation with Yésica Prado

Justicia

Medellín 2026, 

Justicia is Janne Teller’s first novel in eleven years. She is known around the world for works such as Nothing, and the Danish writer has needed two decades to complete this book, whose origins lie in a time when she worked as a UN diplomat. In this tale, Teodor Merlín, who has always believed in words and the power of the law when it comes to resolving conflicts, sees his life fall to pieces after the unresolved killing of his daughter Joanna in the Middle East. She will talk to Yesica Prado about the heart of the book: the human condition in the face of loss, and justice.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
