It is a chance to enter the world of one of the most influential authors in contemporary Spanish literature and to discover the keys of a body of writing that has left its mark on several generations. The writer Carlos Battaglini, director of the Festival, moderates and accompanies the author through his career, his creative process and the concerns that run through his work.
