Discussion: Talk about literature and creation

Discussion: Talk about literature and creation

Lila Azam, writer internationally recognized, and Jakuta Alikavazovic, winner of the Goncourt prize for first novel, talked about how the job  of new writers, how they relate to the world, what expect of the readers, what relationship have their books with the current literature, what is the responsibility of writers today. A debate moderated by Joan Lluís-Lluís, writer and columnist with extensive literary career.

The event focused on the present, the validity and necessity of literature in the contemporary world. The event helped to establish the terms of a dialogue that did not ignore any of the key elements that are part of the discussion on the validity of the humanities. As from the work of Jakuta Alikavazovic and Lila Azam, they exposed some problems of contemporary literature, such as the choice of topics, the use of language, the relations we can establish with other disciplines, but also everything that affects the creative act. Joan Lluís-Lluís led a discussion about the working process of the two writers.
