Conversation #14: José Eduardo Agualusa, LiteratureXchange 2018 (English/Dansk)

Conversation with José Eduardo Agualusa Our longtime and loyal member of staff Morten Ranum always participated in the festival LitertureXchange in Aarhus, but in the recent years he seems to have taken a break from the festival. Maybe it is time to go back to the middle Jutland provincial town, but until further notice we will bring a conversation with the Angolan author José Agualusa from 2018, who participated in the festival in 2018. His book "Almen teori om glemsel" (Teoria geral do esquecimento) was just published by Batzer & Co. In 2018 Morten Ranum wrote a review of Agualusas book published by Globalnyt. After the conversation we bring the review together with a reportage article from an event in the festival in 2018, where Agualusa is discussing "The Right to Write" with the Bolivian author Rodrigo Hasbún. In the following podcast we bring a conversation between Rodrigo Hasbún and Morten Ranum about Hasbúns book "Affekter" (Los Afectos), which was just published in Danish translation by Jensen & Dalgaard. The conversation with José Agualusa took place in Dokk1 at Aarhus Habour on Monday 18th of June, 2018. Published by Foreignness and Friendship, Friday 21st of June, 2024.
