With international luxury toursthe presence of the main Argentine authors and an intense and always interesting menu of activities, begins on September 27 the International Literature Festival (FILBA), which runs until October 1.
This year’s topic is “The human machine” because “in the face of the culture of machines and algorithms that postulate lifeless solutions to the problem of living, literature appears from the depths of the human enigma to remind us that it is better.” This is how the organizers of FILBA explain the choice of a theme that, through AI, today runs through all art productions and creations.
And to prove that literature has every chance to resist, there is nothing better than the words of great writers like those who spoke to the public in the main FILBA activities.
The North American Jonathan Franzen and the Romanian Mircea Cărtărescu They are undoubtedly the great figures that the Festival will present this year. But Francesca Manfredi, Brenda Navarro, Lucía Lijtmaer, Renata Salecl, Simón López Trujillo, Alia Trabucco Zerán, Clément Bondu, Thibault de Montaigu, Daniela Tarazona, Nancy Huston and David James Poissant will also visit us.
