Manuel Jabois in conversation with Miguel Barreiro

Family as a Crossroads

Segovia 2026, 

If human relationships are complex in themselves, those within the family can become labyrinths that are difficult to navigate due to the enormous weight of emotions, joys, pain, beauty and confusion they contain. Manuel Jabois, a leading voice in Spanish literature and opinion journalism, explores in La vìspera the first social institution: the family. And just as from the deepest love, red lines are sometimes crossed under a naive pretence: if things happened sometimes, they were sorted out, as in all families. Jabois is able to raise doubts through the harsh reality of things.
