Montse Bizarro and Frida Cartas in conversation with Gina Jaramillo

Querétaro 2024, 

Two authors who have published new novels will talk to Gina Jaramillo. With Montse Bizarro (Spain), a graduate in Journalism and Humanities from the Pompeu Fabra University, who has worked for media outlets such as El Punt Avui and Europa Press, as well as in corporate communication. Her debut novel Mañana ya no hablaremos de nada talks about abusive and toxic relationships, with neurodivergent characters, showing how they challenge the imposed norms and seek to define their space in the world. Frida Cartas (Mexico), is from Mazatlán and describes herself as a housewife and part-time writer. A former presenter at the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio with the programme Altersexual (a sexual anthropology programme) on Radio Ciudadan, she gives workshops on sexual and reproductive rights for young people, with a class and gender perspective, and also works in the digital media. She is the author of the extraordinary novel Transporte a la infancia, which, using honest, colloquial language, recalls the scenes from her childhood in which she discovered and affirmed her identity, creating an essential testimony for the recognition of trans childhoods, bringing to light the urgency of guaranteeing respect, protection and freedom for trans children.
