Mar García Puig and Albert Sánchez Piñol
In this dialogue, moderated by the writer Ricard Ruiz Garzón, Mar García Puig and Albert Sánchez Piñol will discuss Això tan tenebrós (La Magrana, 2025) / Esta cosa de tinieblas (Debate, 2025) and Les tenebres del cor (La Campana, 2025) / Las tinieblas del corazón (Alfaguara, 2025). These two works offer a journey into darkness: from a luminous journey through the shadows of language, where metaphors are born, to a fascinating account of the history of an illusion, the Homeric story of individuals who were dazzled by pygmies.
