South African Lauren Beukes presents her latest work translated into Spanish, 'Bridge', at the Aridane Criminal literature festival, held in January on La Palma. Motherhood, feminism and violence against women are recurring themes in her texts, created from the South African worldview but located, on many occasions and out of pure commercial sense, in the United States.
She talks about how being a woman and South African influences her work, her recent diagnosis of attention deficit disorder and the fight for equality.
