Pilar Quintana is the guest this week at the podcast of EL PAÍS books. The Colombian author meets us at the Prado Museum to chat about her latest novel, black night, a terrifying experience of the outer and inner jungle when predators lurk. She lived three months alone in the middle of the jungle, an experience so transformative that “I had to write a novel for it.” The author confesses that she is the daughter of Cervantes, García Márquez and Kafka and tells how it impacted her so much. Chronicle of a death foretold who read it eight times in a row.
In this chapter, Andrea Aguilar describes the spell of her books. And Jordi Amat brings us Babelia’s recommendations.
