Three young writers who in their work deal with power, love and violence will talk to Winston Manrique. The author of the phenomenal novel Cómo maté a mi padre (2020), Sara Jaramillo Klinkert, now presents Donde cantan las ballenas, the story of Candelaria, a twelve-year-old girl who lives with a mother who talks to stones, a brother who grows magical mushrooms and a father who sculpts whales. When her father disappears, Candelaria embarks on an extraordinary journey. The writer and journalist Vanessa Londoño studied Creative Writing at New York University and won the Aura Estrada and Nuevas Plumas prizes in 2017. Her first novel is El asedio animal (2021), which tells stories of loss, dispossession and violence experienced by different abandoned and vulnerable populations in Colombia. Irene Reyes Noguerol (España), was selected in 2021 by Granta in Spanish as one of the best 25 writers under 35 years of age, wrote her first book when she was 18 years old (Caleidoscopio) and has also written Homero y otros dioses, a short story compilation inspired in the myths and traditions of Ancient Greece.
