Mexican Writing, An Insider's View with Gabriel Orozco at Edinburgh International Book Festival
Artist Gabriel Orozco presents two of Mexico's most highly respected and best known authors.
Sergio GonzΓ΅lez RodrΓguez is a novelist and essayist famous for his groundbreaking writing about the serial murders of young women in the Ciudad JuΓ΅rez, on the Mexico/US border.
Juan Villoro is probably Mexico’s most versatile writer, his work covering an incredible diversity of topics, from boxing, soccer and pulp fiction to the Zapatista insurrection and the legacy of Mexico’s Cristero War.
Incisive and often very funny, these brilliant authors offer a profound understanding of a complex country.
Recorded at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on 18 August 2015.
