Léemelo Quinta Temporada: Julia Santibáñez con Gonzalo Celorio

In this episode of Léemelo, recorded in the heart of his home, Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio shares his fascination with words and speaks of how much he enjoys venturing into fast-paced reading. Through readings of excerpts from Julio Cortázar's "Hopscotch," Juan Rulfo's "The Burning Plain," and Jorge Luis Borges's "The Maker," the author invites us to discover the power of books to modify not only thought but also the reader's behavior, and how wonderful it is that a book can be born, grow, reproduce, but never die.
