Narrating Central America the making of a literary chronicle

Narrating Central America: the “making of” a literary chronicle

The Centroamérica Cuenta literary festival has been celebrating its tenth anniversary since Wednesday in the Dominican Republic as a space for the projection of Ibero-American letters and reflection on some of the challenges facing contemporary societies: journalism, freedom of expression, populism, democracy or climate change. The event, promoted by the Nicaraguan writer and Cervantes Prize winner Sergio Ramírez, which today became a touring event due to the persecution of the regimes of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, is the scene of a conversation this Sunday between the Spanish writer Lara Moreno and the Dominican Frank Báez and the Mexican Jorge Diner, with Mexican author and editor Emiliano Monge.

In collaboration with the festival, EL PAÍS broadcasts this dialogue in which the speakers explain the genesis of Cuenta Centroamérica, a literary chronicle project in which various invited authors write about iconic places or characters in the festival’s host city, in this case Santo Domingo . What did you see, what impressed you? In this dialogue they tell us about their special way of designing Cuenta Centroamérica in the Dominican Republic.
