Ferran Torrent and Núria Cadenes
In this dialogue, moderated by the journalist Laura Serra, Ferran Torrent and Núria Cadenes will discuss their latest books El jo que no mor (Columna, 2025) and En carn i ossos (Ara Llibres, 2025). While Torrent has written a novel in which no one is who they say they are, but where facts and feelings are authentic and genuine, Cadenes plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality. Two works which, side by side, mark a journey from the Valencia of Cold War espionage to the lands of Valencia devastated by the DANA storm.
