LUCÍA LIJTMAER: "Vivimos en pleno DESFASE HISTÓRICO" | Podcast QUÉ ESTÁS LEYENDO

Lucía Lijtmaer is this week's guest on What Are You Reading, EL PAÍS's book podcast. The author of Offended, Cauterio, and podcaster also known for Deforme Semanal, a program she co-hosts with Isa Calderón, chats with Berna González Harbour about this historical moment: “We're living in a state of disorientation. We've already moved beyond democracy, but we continue as if we still live in it.” Lijtmaer writes and defends a kind of literature in which she always feels out of place. In this episode, Andrea Aguilar analyzes her books, and Silvia Hernando shares this week's Babelia recommendation: Las crines (The Manes) by Marc Colell, winner of the Café Gijón Prize. As always, the motto of this podcast: We are the only algorithms. Books recommended by Lucía Lijtmaer: Broken Mirror by Mercè Rodoreda. Painted Lips by Manuel Puig.
