Two writers will talk to Daniella Sánchez Russo about their recent work. With the acclaimed author of The Adventures of China Iron (shortlisted for prestigious awards such as the International Booker and the Médicis), Gabriela Cabezón Cámara (Argentina) returns with the powerful Las niñas del naranjel (2023), about the historical figure Catalina de Erauso, the Nun Alférez, who was born in Spain in the late 16th century and who crossed America dressed as a man. And with Gloria Susana Esquivel (Colombia), writer and podcaster, creator of the popular programme Womansplaining, and author of several books, including the recently published novel Contradeseo (2023), which explores the lives of three young adults who share an apartment. Written with a complex, unsettling prose, the author tells the story of a newly-married couple and a friend who has recently ended a relationship and who stays with the couple in exchange for domestic work.
