About this Event
Macondo & Ulysses | The Delivery by Margarita García Robayo
Come join us for an exciting event on 24th June at Books At One Dublin! We are thrilled to host Margarita García Robayo as she presents her latest work in translation: The Delivery (La encomienda).
In The Delivery, an enormous package arrives that can’t be opened, Catrina the cat appears and disappears, half-finished buildings punctuate the horizon—semi-ordinary happenings that take on an otherworldly cast if you look at them sideways. And nothing is stranger, in this high rise apartment far from home, than the tenuous bonds of family that hold us together, or don’t. The narrator works, zooms with her sister, makes plans for the future (a writing residency, a child), and tentatively probes her past, while subtle fissures open up around her, changing her life forever. As she says about her childhood home, “Sometimes I get curious…but I don’t ask, because the answer could come with information I’d rather not know.”
The club is aimed at members and new members with an interest in learning Spanish. Each session will adapt to our audience, with the idea of keeping the club a space for bilingual readings and discussions.
Come to Macondo & Ulysses to experience Colombia through reading and animated discussions faciliated by journalist Margarita Barrero.
