Two writers talk to Elvira Liceaga about their latest books. Marina Perezagua (Spain) is a writer, academic and frequent colaborator of El País; she writes short-stories and novels, and her latest book is La playa, a novel that sheds the light (but also casts a shadow) on the complexity of motherhood and bonds between mothers and daughters. The writer Olivia Teroba (Mexico) will explore the powerful impact of writing in the lives of characters, as well as in her own, highlighting its ability to offer support with regard to social pressures, create authentic connections and find a path that identifies us. Teroba is the author of the books of autobiographical essay Un lugar seguro and Dinero y escritura, in which she addresses the challenges involved in the profession of writing. Her short stories have been included in various volumes published in Mexico, Spain, Chile and Argentina.
