Alma's Evenings: Carlos Pascual

The fifth writer featured in the Alma's Evenings series is Carlos Pascual (1964). After leaving his native Mexico and living in several countries, Carlos made a home for himself in Slovenia. The books he has published here include the literary reflections on Slovenia, Debeli zidovi, majhna okna (Cankarjeva založba 2017) and Nezakonita melanholija (LUD Šerpa, 2020), which received the 2021 Novo mesto Award. Pascual's books often address the cultural differences between the author's homeland and his adopted country over the past decade.

The talks are hosted by Dr. Andrej Blatnik.

Alma's Evenings:
The Alma's Evenings series is dedicated to talks with writers-cum-travellers about their work and the books they love, about their favourite paths and those they still wish to tread, as well as about the music and gastronomy typical of their favourite places.
The literature that the series focuses on is one that initiates change. Changing the readers, changing the readers’ understanding of the world, changing the world. More >>

The event will be held in English with translation into Slovenian.
