And our next readers are ...

We are very happy because we received an unexpected amount of fragments to be read at our second session. So many and so good readings that it has been very difficult for our committee to select only three of them!  It seems that our recently born initiative is already starting to have the impact we hoped for.

Next Wednesday, September 26th, at 19:00 pm in the gardens of Olokuti (C / Astúries 36, Barcelona) you will have the opportunity to know about the work of these novelists:

Jan Farina has written for cinema, theatre and television. He represented Spain at a Script Workshop during the Filmhochschulen of Munich-Festival with his short film script Unsubstantial Rape. He is currently working on the novel Despacho sin clientes, from his Pérez-Moya-serie, where he gives birth to a real detective to whose adventures he will introduce us this coming Wednesday. Jan invites you to join him as a friend at his Facebook profile, where you will be able to follow the progress of his writing.

You may want to know more about the plot: What would you do if you had to survive under the Franco-regime? With this question in mind, the detective Pérez Moya (pseudonym used to avoid potential lawsuits from heirs and clients that are still alive) began to write his memoirs about the origin of the wealth of heroes in our Catalan and Spanish hall of fame.

Iñaki Marin is a teacher, writer and screenwriter in Barcelona. In the field of professional writing he collaborates at many cultural projects as a screenwriter for audiovisual productions. In 2010 he published the short stories Y que cumplas muchos más and  Historia cerrada in the literary anthology Cuento atrás (Editorial Hijos del Hule). In 2011 he participated with three short stories at the anthologies Verbigracia: Principios de la termodinámica, Los 4 fantásticos and Para decir adiós (Editorial Hijos del Hule). He is currently finishing his novel La sombra del buitre, which he is going to introduce this coming  Wednesday to us. 

A bit of the plot to catch  your interest: Pilar Laborda spend her whole life following professional success. When she finally  reaches it, she has to pay a high price. Friendship, love, moral integrity and a dark past haunt the executive, who will be involved in a pharmaceutical plot that will be not easy to escape ...

Jordi Fenosa Tatay has been illustrating children's books for more than twenty years. He also  draws a weekly humour strip for  a digital newspaper. (In his blog you can see a sample of his drawings). In the last couple of years he started to write books, always for children and young. He has written two novels so far, Columna de fum and La trumfa marinera, still unpublished (hopefully not for long...) On Wednesday he will read to us a funny text  from the second part of La trumfa marinera, still untitled.

As you can see by the plot,  you will have a great time listening to Jordi: La trumfa marinera is a fun story of scientific explorations set in an imaginary eighteenth century, with ambitious and ridiculous aristocrats, sweet-toothed pirates and an Amazonian tribe that lives from a super-fruit that provides  them everything they need. The same characters will appear in his  unfinished  second part.

We are looking forward to the readings and we are eager to participate in the ensuing discussion. Don't miss it!
