We have already selected our first readers for the opening reading session this Wednesday 20th: the American novelist Miranda Train will read in English a fragment of her novel Wind. The writer and storyteller Helena Cuesta and the essayist Rosa Sala Rose will read fragments in Spanish from their works in progress Emma and Ngomo, respectively. After the discussion that will close the session we invite you to a glass of wine. Would you like to join us? Wednesday 20th at 7pm in the garden of Jiwar (entrance through the Olokuty-shop, Astúries 36).

Rosa Sala Rose is an essayist specialized in German history and culture. She is now writing her first novel, Ngomo, partly set in Viena at the end of 18th century.  


Miranda Train received her MFA in Creative Writing from the New School. Her novel in progress Wind is about a woman who eats the fruit of knowledge and travels around the world discovering the secret of the universe.





Helena Cuesta studied Art History and worked as an exhibition guide until one day stories entered her life. She is a storyteller and has also collected tales, stories, legends... and she writes to help memory to see better. Her novel Emma reflects life in Barcelona, as well as the world of cultural administration, and reflects, in a humorous tone, about the changes we experience during our life, and how to deal with them.
