The Latin American writers, Emiliano Monge (Mexico), Liliana Colanzi (Bolivia), Claudia Ulloa Donoso (Peru), Felipe Restrepo Pombo (Colombia) and Carlos Fonseca (Costa Rica) will join translator Sophie Hughes in conversation, to address the challenges of Latin American literature and the role of Latin American writers on the global stage.

These writers are all part of the new Hay Festival Bogotá 39 selection of great writers under the age of forty from across Latin America. Each is published in a new collection of short stories, translated into English and published by Oneworld this June.

This event is part of Cervantes Institute London‘s Thinking Ibero-América series and is presented in partnership with Hay Festival, Oneworld Publications and English PEN, with the support of the Mexican, Colombian and Peruvian Embassies in the UK.
