Javier Moro in conversation with Ana Cristina Restrepo

They want us dead

Jericó 2024, 

This celebrated Spanish author Javier Moro will talk to Ana Cristina Restrepo about his most recent books. Moro, one of the bestselling Spanish-language writers, is also a journalist and has worked as a screenwriter and film producer in Hollywood. His books include Senderos de libertad (1992), El pie de Jaipur (1995), Las montañas de Buda (1997), a work written together with Dominique Lapierre: Five Past Midnight in Bhopal (2001), Passion India, The Red Sari, El imperio eres tú (2011 Planeta Prize) and, more recently Nos quieren muertos, which the author will talk about at this event. This book, which is both an exciting read and a rigorous study, is about a key figure for understanding contemporary Venezuela: Leopoldo López. Upon being jailed in 2014, after leading massive protests against the Maduro government, López became a symbol of the struggle for democracy in the country.
