Mónica González Inés in conversation with Laura Ventura

Excessive demands, guilt, and the fear of failure push us to live on the edge and turn mistakes into a form of personal failure. Mónica González Inés, who dazzled critics and readers alike with her debut novel, delves into these challenges and difficulties without mincing words: the exhaustion of life, our own fragility. And also as an invitation to nurture our connections and reclaim the use of time and silence. Precisely, El aire quema speaks to this: how long the image of a perfect life can be sustained—a woman at the peak of her career, with a solid and respectable life, who makes a mistake that will have serious consequences and, in an unexpected impulse, decides to hide it and embarks on a double life. She will discuss all of this with Laura Ventura, who holds a Ph.D. in Hispanic Philology and is a professor of literature at Carlos III University; she also writes for the Argentine newspaper La Nación.

At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books
