Conversation: “Man Most Intimate: Alberto Manguel and João Reis”
September 25, 2023 @ 19:00 - 20:00
Toronto International Festival of Authors
“The short novel can have the most intense impact on the reader as every word carries significant weight and meaning. Portuguese writer and translator João Reis discusses The Devastation of Silence (translated by Adrian Minckley) and the story of a Portuguese prisoner of war struggling to find meaning amongst hardship, and someone to hear his story. Internationally acclaimed anthologist, translator, essayist, novelist and editor Alberto Manguel is also an astonishingly prolific bestselling author. His 2023 output includes two novellas, A Return and The Overdiscriminating Lover, both of which explore the passions and possibilities, moments and memories that shape and drive a man’s life.”
Moderated by Martha Batiz.
Presented with support from Consulado Geral de Portugal em Toronto.
