An event by Mario Bellatin, followed by a response by Professor Daniel Link
On Wednesday, January 15th, Northwestern will be hosting a public talk by Mario Bellatin, one of the most prolific, original, and acclaimed Latin American writers of recent decades. Bellatin’s experimental writings invite the public to question traditional ideas about literature, art, fiction, and reality, while breaking and transiting the borders between them.
*Conducted in Spanish with English translation
Reading Group
In preparation for this talk, we would like to invite faculty and students to join a reading group on Friday, January 10th, from 2-3:30pm, in the Comparative Literary Studies Seminar Room (Kresge 5-531), where we will be discussing Bellatin’s work.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to ctcprojects@northwestern.edu and we will be happy to share a link to the reading materials.
