Granta in Conversation

Following the release of Granta’s second list celebrating young Spanish-language novelists, showcasing the next generation of literary talent, we are proud to present an evening to meet the special issue “The Best Of Young Spanish-Language Novelists 2” contains new writing from twenty-five of the most exciting writers aged thirty-five and under from across the Spanish-speaking world. With Miluska Benavides (Peru) and Martín Felipe Castagnet (Argentine), hosted by Benjamin Bollig (University of Oxford) and introduced by Valerie Miles (Granta editor) Miluska Benavides was born in Lima, Peru. In 2012 she translated Arthur Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell and her story collection, La caza espiritual, was published in 2015. She is in the process of completing Hechos, the novel from which “Kingdoms” has been excerpted. Martín Felipe Castagnet was born in La Plata, Argentina. He is the author of the novels Bodies of Summer (translated into English by Frances Riddle) and Los mantras modernos. In 2017 he was selected by “Bogotá 39” as one of the best young Latin American writers.
