Transatlantic Conversations offers three conversations, each between two renowned writers, one from Latin America and the other from Spain.

During Miami International Book Fair, the CCEM and the Center for the Literary Arts, Miami International Book Fair presents Transatlantic Conversations: dialogues between Spanish and Latin American authors.

In this series, dialogue is used to both communicate and surprise you. In these times of globalization, social networks and cyber relationships, we yearn for in-depth conversation. This encounter brings together two great minds in the perfect stage, Miami, a city known for connecting cultures and languages. Such an open-minded setting is the perfect place for these transatlantic conversations.

The program offers three conversations, each between two renowned writers, one from Latin America and the other from Spain. We do not believe in the Atlantic Ocean as a separator, but rather as a bridge, and we celebrate this with a series of talks that will take place from the 17th to the 18th of November as part of the Miami International Book Fair. With Spanish as their primary linkage, the six authors participating in Transatlantic Conversations show why the language is on the rise. This city is the perfect scenario because of its combination of U.S. and Latin American cultures.

Benjamín Prado (Spain), Leopoldo Brizuela (Argentina), Andrés Barba (Spain), Carlos Yushimito del Valle (Peru), Roberto Ampuero (Chile) y Fernando Aramburu (Spain) are the protagonists of Transatlantic Conversations.
