Latin American Literature
Instituto Cervantes in Manchester is launching a new edition of its Latin American Literature Reading Club led by Dr Mariana Casale. A space aimed at native and no-native speakers to discover the new styles and narratives of Latin American literature, through established authors and also discovering the most promising new writers.
Sessions also approach literature through bibliotherapy, assuming that reading and writing have good properties for readers.
The workshop is carried out through the Zoom platform and consists of seven sessions:
-28th April: «El carrito» (Los peligros de fumar en la cama, 2009) and «Bajo el agua negra» (Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego, 2016) by Mariana Enríquez.
-12th May: «El espectro» by Horacio Quiroga (El desierto y otros cuentos, 1924) and «Las fotografías» by Silvina Ocampo (La furia y otros cuentos, 1959)
