Antonio Muñoz Molina in conversation with Ana Gavín
The pandemic was a time of fear and uncertainty. But also of silence and reading, of reflection on the past. Antonio Munoz Molina, an academic from the RAE, and one of the most prominent authors on the Spanish literary scene, puts his brilliant and illuminating prose at the service of memory. The memory of a recent time, which perhaps the history books hide, and that of a world, that of his peasant childhood, which will die when the last protagonists of it die.
Muñoz Molina talks with Ana Gavín, director of editorial relations for Grupo Planeta and editor with a long history, in which prominent names of our letters appear.
