The literary festival Centroamérica Cuenta celebrates its tenth anniversary since Wednesday in the Dominican Republic as a space for the projection of Ibero-American letters and reflection on some of the challenges of contemporary societies: journalism, freedom of expression, populism and democracy. The event, promoted by the Nicaraguan writer and Cervantes Prize winner Sergio Ramírez and today converted into itinerant by the persecution of the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, hosts this Saturday a conversation about the links between writing, literary creation and climate change.
In collaboration with the festival, EL PAÍS broadcasts this dialogue between the Salvadoran writer Jorge Galán, the Mexican Jorge Comensal, the Spanish Gabi Martínez and Lorena Arroyo, director of América Futura, the sustainable development section of EL PAÍS América, will address the presence of climate as a leitmotiv of contemporary literature. As with love, death, freedom, justice or identity, the environment and the consequences of global warming have an increasing impact on the work of prose and poetry authors. This dialogue reflects on the works that border the great challenges of climate change, as well as their impact on the gears of writing.
