Memory Has a Landscape: Childhood, Women, and Territory in the Creation of a Novel

2026-10-01 10:00 2026-10-01 10:50 Europe/Madrid Memory Has a Landscape: Childhood, Women, and Territory in the Creation of a Novel

Where does a novel come from? How do our memories, childhood recollections, the places we inhabit, and the stories we hear find their way into fiction? Colombian-Peruvian writer Mary Luz Henao Navarro talks with Marco García Falcón, winner of Peru’s National Literature Prize, about the craft of transforming memory into fiction. Drawing on Alba Luz y la sombra del Tatamá and Ikumi, 1999, they will discuss territory, characters, female voices, and some of the decisions that take place behind the writing of a novel.
