This presentation is part of Spain Writes, America Reads, the literature program of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C. that aims to support Spanish authors in the U.S.
In 2019, the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) launched a programme for the internationalization of Spanish authors between 30 and 40 years old, an age when many writers have already produced works in which their first maturity can be appreciated and whose quality invites them to cross borders and go after new readers. The idea was to bring together writers born around 1980 and 1990, all with at least one published work, not with the aim of establishing a generational cut, but with the intention of making the variety of their work visible. The experience was repeated in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The result is 10 out of 30: New Spanish Narrative, a selection of thirty authors who represent some of the most interesting voices to have appeared in recent years in Spain: Katixa Agirre, David Aliaga, Miguel Barrero, Matías Candeira, Natalia Cerezo, Cristian Crusat, Aixa de la Cruz, Florencia del Campo, Álex Chico, Laura Fernández, Elisa Ferrer, Cristina García Morales, Juan Gómez Bárcena, Munir Hachemi, Pablo Herran, Margarita Leoz, Inma López Silva, Elena Medel, Alejandro Morellón, Aroa Moreno, Jordi Nopca, Miqui Otero, Marina Perezagua, Almudena Sánchez, Irene Solà, Raquel Taranilla, Sabina Urraca, Irene Vallejo, Gabriela Ybarra.
