Héctor Abad Faciolince (Colombia) is one of Colombia’s most acclaimed and loved voices, author of the contemporary classic Oblivion. A Memoir. Winner of various prizes for fiction and for journalism (including the Simón Bolívar Prize), his works have been translated into 15 languages. In 2016 he founded the Colombian independent publishing company Angosta. His latest novel, Salvo mi corazón, todo está bien, is based on true events and tells the story of a priest who is waiting for a heart transplant. The writer, lawyer and philanthropist, Juan David Morgan (Panama), is the author of the recent Fugitivos del paisaje, a fascinating story set in rural Chiriquí, where the Thomas-Calero family settles; through this family we are offered a saga that tells of the deceptions, triumphs, romances and tragedies of three generations in a magnificent historical setting. In conversation with Emma Gómez Guerra.
