2nd ESCRIBIDORES Literary Festival of the Americas and Europe

Spanning four capitals, this event brings together some of the most renowned international writers, specialist journalists and prominent publishers to reflect on topical issues in literature today. These include contemporary forms of storytelling, new literary perspectives and the increasingly blurred boundaries between different fields and practices. Mario Vargas Llosa, winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature, will head the delegation of prominent present-day writers representing seven countries.
