Antonio Skármeta
Description
Exploring themes of loss and personal transformation, Chilean novelist Antonio Skármeta has created a resonant and spiritually optimistic body of work. In this program, Skármeta shares his views on education, tension between generations, the influence of television, and the implications of his own work. The author of The Victory Dance and of Burning Patience-which became the celebrated film Il Postino-sheds light on the poetic impulse of good storytelling and the need, often experienced in times of adversity, to create private myths. Skármeta's varied opinions on technology and entertainment are also included.
