The event offers an opportunity to hear the novelist discuss the making of his work and the way fiction captures social transformations and personal relationships. **Visitor details** — Friday 30 October 2026 at 5 p.m., Juan Goytisolo Library, Instituto Cervantes, 99 Avenue Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Tangier.
