Emiliano Monge in conversation with Enrique Díaz Álvarez

Querétaro 2026, 

En lengua privada is a collection of short stories by Emiliano Monge that blurs the limits between fiction and non-fiction. These tales are written in italics, because the author of Los vivos, No contar todo and Las tierras arrasadas constructs the texts in this book using techniques typical of the essay, literary journalism and biography, while playing with language, ideas and experience.
