Within the framework of the Centroamérica Cuenta literary festival, created by the Nicaraguan writer and Cervantes Prize winner Sergio Ramírez, three specialists in the so-called “reconstruction of the sites of history” talk about how difficult it can be to write from pain and absence.
This debate, which takes place in Guatemala City, the venue for the festival, is proof that writers are also literary archaeologists, as they dig and connect the dots about the life or absences of real characters who become their protagonists.
Participating at the table are the writer Cristina Rivera Garza (Mexico), the journalist Francisco Goldman (Guatemala) and the writer Dolores Reyes (Argentina), who talk with Javier Rodríguez Marcos, a journalist from EL PAÍS.
