Literaktum 2019: joining feminism and literature
- From November 11 to 24, the organizers have announced that “the binomial of literature and feminism will be the central axis of the festival”.
Many writers will meet at the festival to be held in Donostia-San Sebastian, including Basque writers Eider Rodríguez, Kattalin Miner and Mariasun Landa. During these two weeks, “everyone will expose their vision of identity, feminism or artistic creation”, according to the organizers.
In total, there will be more than 50 guests. The festival will also feature several books: Bernardo Atxaga (Houses and Tombs) will present the novels recently published by Ibon Martin (Tulip Dance) and Karmele Jaio (Aitaren Etxea), which will be presented in the Official Section.
Tributes
The book by Ramón Saizarbitoria Egunero hasi will be 50 years since he saw the light. Literaktum has announced that he will pay tribute to his novel and that an exhibition will be held on the writer, who will be "in love". In addition, the program will offer a show on Joxean Artze, who died in 2018.
The column starts with a discussion that seems absurd to the naked eye: 2024 if it was one of our literary numbers, how would you call it?
