Event 34
Jeremías Gamboa, Catherine Lacey and Gwendoline Riley in conversation with Elvira Liceaga
Crooked lines
Venue: Cineteca Rosalío Solano
Life rarely turns out the way we imagine it will. Sometimes this means returning to square one, as happens to the protagonist of El principio del mundo, a novel by Jeremías Gamboa (Peru), who returns to his native Peru at the age of 33 in search of refuge. At other times, we swim in circles, in spaces that ought not to exist; such as the one created by Catherine Lacey (USA) in The Möbius Book, where the narrative folds in on itself, blending memory and fiction, with no beginning and no end. And sometimes, as in My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley (UK), the relationship between mother and daughter becomes fertile ground for frustration and estrangement. They will be joined by Elvira Liceaga (Mexico) to discuss the narrative paths each has found to navigate life’s twists and turns.
