EUROPEAN VOICES - A READING AND CONVERSATION WITH SPANISH AUTHOR ANDRÉS NEUMAN
Andrés Neuman was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1977, the son of emigrant musicians. Widely [...]regarded as one of the best young Spanish-language novelists, he is also an accomplished writer of short stories, an essayist, a poet, and a translator. He has a degree in Spanish philology from the University of Granada, where he worked as a teacher of Latin American literature. His fourth novel, El viajero del siglo (Alfaguara, 2009; published in the USA as Traveler of the Century, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2012), won the Alfaguara Prize and the National Critics Prize, awarded by the Spanish Literary Critics Association. This event was moderated by Alicia Borinsky, Professor of Spanish at Boston University. Like Neuman, Borinsky was born in Argentina. She is a fiction writer, poet, and literary critic who has published extensively in English and Spanish in the United States, Latin America, and Europe.
