Eduardo Mendoza
Description
What is it like to be a writer? In this program, Spanish novelist Eduardo Mendoza offers his views as he talks about the sheer pleasure of writing, the state of the novel as a literary form, the effect of censorship on writers during the Franco regime, changes in the business of publishing, and repercussions of the Latin American literary Boom. The author of La Ciudad de los Prodigios, La Verdad Sobre el Caso Savolta, El Misterio de la Cripta Embrujada, and the serialized Sin Noticias de Gurb also grapples with his loathing of nationalism and feelings of statelessness in the face of a world that is seesawing between pretentious pro-globalism and exaggerated localism.
