LITERARY GATHERING
ENERO
by Sara Gallardo
(Only for AMUM members)
Monday 16 December at 18:30
Marbella Club
We will talk about Enero (Malas Tierras, 2019, 112 pages) by Sara Gallardo. An excellent first novel by the Argentine author, published in 1958, it narrates a moment in the life of a teenage girl, Nefer, her anguish and terrors in the face of a pregnancy resulting from rape, and at the same time confronts us with her precise and poetic prose with the differences of class and gender and the fearsome social gaze. To appreciate, think and debate.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Welcome!
