Reading period: November 2021 - January 2022

Our Spanish-language reading group is back in Winter 2021 with three recent Latin American titles. Lola Larra’s Sprinters is a non-fiction novel in the mould of Capote’s In Cold Blood, resulting from her investigation into sinister events at a rural Chilean colony founded by an ex-Nazi. In Los pasajes comunes by Gonzalo Baz, a man who thinks he has left the past behind finds himself preoccupied by memories of the block of flats he grew up in. The final book on our list is an experimental text by visual artist Verónica Gerber Bicecci, which examines the afterlife of a mercury mine in northern Mexico.
