Juan Esteban Constaín and Mariana Travacio in conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo

Past and fate

Cartagena 2023, 

A literary event at which two authors will speak about their new books, in conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo. Juan Esteban Constaín (Colombia), the El Tiempo columnist and author of numerous titles, including ¡Calcio!, El hombre que no fue Thursday and Álvaro: Su vida y su siglo, presents Cartas abiertas, a novel that reflects on the past, on fictions and their possible effects on history, told through the fascinating character Marcelino Quijano. Mariana Travacio (Argentina), with a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Creative Writing from the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, is also a translator from French and Portuguese. Travacio has published the books of short stories Cotidiano and Cenizas de carnaval, as well as the novel Como si existiese el perdón, set in a desolate rural setting, with a plot involving vengeance and redemption that questions the importance of what are supposed to be the determining factors of origin, family and fate.
