Speakers: Humberto Beck, Christopher Domínguez, Alvaro Enrigue, Valeria Luiselli, Antonio Ortuño

A group of Mexico’s most prominent literary critics and novelists—Beck (Gabriel Zaid: lectura y conversación), Domínguez (La sabiduría sin promesa. Vida y letras del siglo XX), Enrigue (moderator) (Vidas perpendiculares), Luiselli (editor, Letras Libres), and Ortuño (Recursos humanos)—will read selections of their work and explore the cultural, social, and political ramifications of Mexican literature today, particularly in light of the bicentennial of Mexico’s independence and the centennial of its revolution, and in light of current developments in Mexico, the United States, and elsewhere in the world. The participating writers are all represented in Review 80 (The 21st Century Mexico Issue, Spring 2010), which will be launched on May 20.

This panel discussion will be in Spanish with simultaneous translation.
