Literary debate on the novel ‘The Peninsula of Empty Houses’ by David Uclés

On Wednesday, April 8th, at 6:30 p.m., the Cultural Center of El Corte Inglés in Santiago de Compostela will host the fourth debate on the finalist novels of the 19th Casino de Santiago European Novel Prize.

David Uclés's novel, "The Peninsula of Empty Houses", will be the subject of the literary discussion, moderated by Marga Vidal.

The complete story of the Spanish Civil War and a dying Iberia, where the fantastic underpins the harshness of reality; where the anonymous members of a large clan of olive growers from Jándula cross paths with those of Alberti, Lorca, and Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano, and Kent; Hemingway, Orwell, and Bernanos; Picasso and Mallo; Azaña and Foxá. Where the epic and the everyday intertwine to weave a prodigious tapestry, poetic and grotesque, beautiful and delirious.

Don't miss this event at our center!
