Liliana Colanzi talks to Ángel Gurría-Quintana

Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi discusses the ideas of collapse, language, kinship and memory that show up in her works, with literary journalist and translator Ángel Gurría-Quintana.

Colanzi’s short stories (You Glow in the Dark, Our Dead World) build eerie dystopian landscapes out of the decimated ruins of post-nuclear Latin America, in a style that feels both very real and completely otherworldly.
