Fatou Diome presents her latest novel, 'Those that wait', in Barañain and San Sebastián

The African tradition of speaking has gone through a sieve of modernity and cosmopolitanism and the recurrent theme of migrations reaches Navarra and San Sebastián by the hand and voice of Fatou Diome, a Senegalese writer that takes part in a new edition of the African Letters programme, from Casa África. Fatou Diome will hold three conferences next week at Barañain Library in Navarra, and at Ikastola Axular Lizeoa and the Museo San Telmo, in the San Sebastian capital. She is once again the protagonist of an initiative that was created in 2009 with the aim of bringing the principal voices of African contemporary literature to the Spanish public, which took her to Cádiz and Sevilla two years ago.

Fatou Diome will meet up with reading club members of the Foral Community of Navarra on Monday 21st November at 20.00 hours, at the Barañain Public Library in Navarra, to talk about her life and work and present her latest novel, Those that wait, recently translated into Spanish and  published by Casa África in collaboration with El Aleph El Cobre. The following day at 10.30 hours, a new session of African Letters will be held in San Sebastian with students from the 4th year of ESO and  "Bachiller" in collaboration with the Haurralde Foundation. This meeting will take place at Ikastola Axular Lizeoa and will precede another meeting at the Museo San Telmo, at 19.00 hours.
