Don’t mess with my friends… Literary criticism and friendship (or enemyship), a perverse relationship. Should critics have a deontological code?

Querétaro 2018, 

Sergio del Molino, Alma Delia Murillo, Patricio Pron and Carmen Rioja in conversation with Diego Rabasa

Critics -whether or not they are writers- should never review the work of friends: this would risk accusations of bias, or maybe losing friends. It should not happen, but literary history is full of memorable spats and perverse relationships. Diego Rabasa talks to Sergio del Molino (Spain), Alma Delia Murillo (Mexico), Patricio Pron (Argentina) and Carmen Rioja (Mexico).

Organized together with Librería Cálamo and with the support of the Government of Aragón
