De las fotos, sus autores. Cartel, ILFD

In two compelling narratives, Argentine crime writer Claudia Piñeiro (Elena Knows) and Spanish novelist Gabriela Ybarra (The Dinner Guest) ask painful questions about what happens when our personal lives become tangled in the machinery of international politics. Packed with intrigue and intimacy, these two powerful voices in international literature come together in an unmissable discussion of what happens when the personal meets the political.

The ‘Alfred Hitchcock of the River Plate’, Claudia Piñeiro, delivers a tale of intrigue, corruption and collusion, as an elderly resident of Buenos Aires tries to uncover the truth behind her daughter’s apparent death by suicide. Another death in the family instigates, The Dinner Guest, Ybarra’s exploration of her grandfather’s murder by Basque separatists in 1977, and her mother’s passing from cancer in 2011.

As an author and scriptwriter for television, Claudia Piñeiro has won numerous national and international prizes.

Gabriela Ybarra was born in Bilbao in 1983. The Dinner Guest is her first novel and was published to critical acclaim in Spain, where it won the Euskadi Literature Prize in 2016.
