As part of the 40th anniversary of the Malvinas War, the Argentine writer Martín Kohan and the British Giles Foden will discuss on Tuesday the 22nd at the Teatro San Martín about how literature accounts for the war and will investigate the personal processes that led them to write about the subject.
With free admission but which will require a prior reservation at the theater box office, the writers will meet on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Casacuberta Hall of the Teatro San Martín under the guiding idea that “there are no winners or losers in literature”.
“Language is always a contest for meaning. What happens when you write, precisely, about war? What does a writer rescue from what happened — that living memory — when he metabolizes it with his imagination?” , convened by the organizers to give an account of the talk between the Argentinean and British author, with the moderation of journalist and writer Sonia Budassi.
