The acclaimed Mexican writer Verónica Murguía will talk about her most recent work, El cuarto jinete. Set in 1348, when the world’s most devastating outbreak of plague occurred, decimating the population of Europe in just two years, this novel offers a kaleidoscopic vision of the pandemic, with an awareness that the children and grandchildren of those who suffered would bring about the Renaissance. This is a story which, despite the centuries of distance, chimes with a world that has suffered a pandemic in its own times. In conversation with Antonio Lazcano.
