Books: their houses and their spokespeople. Bookshops, libraries and cultural journalists

Querétaro 2018, 

Ricardo García Mainou, Daniel Goldin and Paco Goyanes in conversation with Antón Castro

Bookshops and libraries are no longer silent spaces where books sleep the sleep of the just (or of the unjust): cultural activity and the promotion of reading are giving them new functions and spaces. Books are recovering their voices, making libraries and bookshops places for debate, social exchange and the press is reflecting this… sometimes. Antón Castro talks to Ricardo García Mainou, writer, journalist and bookseller at El Faro de Alejandría (Querétaro, Mexico); Daniel Goldin, Managing Director of the Biblioteca Vasconcelos (Mexico City) and Paco Goyanes, of the Librería Cálamo (Zaragoza, Spain).

Organized together with Librería Cálamo, with the support of Acción Cultural Española and the Government of Aragón
