Julia Navarro in conversation with Jesús Ruiz Mantilla

History and fiction; essay and literature. Everything is valid when it comes to fighting against totalitarianism. Culture, with a capital C, as a transformative power for the benefit of the common good and social justice. And in that field, Julia Navarro moves like a fish in water. Journalist and writer, she became known in the literary world with The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud, which was published in 30 countries. The success of her books, common on the best-seller lists, led her to leave journalism. Among her titles are novels such as Tell me who I am, Shoot, I'm already dead, You won't kill, or, the latest, A shared story.

Navarro will talk about her work, experiences, and inspirations with Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, a journalist and writer who works at El País, where he writes for the cultural section. He has written novels such as Los ojos no ven, Preludio and Gordo, which won the Sent Soví Prize for gastronomic writing, Ahogada en llamas, Placer contra placer and Contar la música. Hotel Transición won the Fernando Quiñones Unicaja Novel Prize.

At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her book in the Plaza Mayor bandstand in front of the theatre.
