Writers Speak: Álvaro Enrigue

Mahindra Humanities Center (Harvard) · Fong Auditorium · Boylston Hall · Harvard Square · Cambridge

The Mexican novelist Álvaro Enrigue talks with Alejandra Vela Martínez in Harvard's Writers Speak series. His Sudden Death, built around a tennis match between Caravaggio and the poet Quevedo, won Spain's Premio Herralde in 2013; Now I Surrender followed the last years of the Apache wars, and You Dreamed of Empires (2024) stages Cortés's arrival at Moctezuma's court in 1519.
