Our two guests are well established journalists and authors who specialise in acquainting us with the life and work of other artists. They are also magnetic and curious characters who reveal mysteries to us through their writing. But what happens when an author tells their own story? What can we learn from how they write? Can we sense the person behind the author, or the author behind the journalist?
With Jesús Marchamalo and Cristín Leach. Moderator: Jean-Philippe Imbert
