“An invitation to the meeting between people who share a passion for literature: readers, writers and booksellers of race gathered to do what they like to do most in life: talk about books. An occasion to recommend, smell, touch, buy and give away books, to lie on the grass, to read and peek at what someone from beyond is reading”, is the proposal of FLUthe first used book party from Buenos Aires.
The nascent edition will take place in the Nave Platform Cultural Center, located at Av. Belisario Roldán 4415, in the heart of Bosques de Palermo. Various artists from literature, music and general culture will perform at the event, which will take place on November 5 and 6, starting at 11 am.
The used book fair will bring together sixteen bookstores in the city and will also feature talks on Juan Sklar and Gabriela Borreli, jalong with the shows of Paula Maffia, Villa Diamante and DJ Rixa. Among the most notable activities will be the reading presentations to the public of Gonzalo Heredia, Maia Tarcic, Guillermo David, Nacho Damiano and Nahuel Sosaamong others.
The proposal created by patrick ragoauthor of “Unique specimens” and founder of Aristippus Books, was to organize an event in which the “democratization and collectivization” of culture is proposed. “The idea is to celebrate reading, because reading is not something boring, snobbish, a solitary act, a privilege for a few, but on the contrary, reading is a party, a beautiful practice, and that also generates community and should be available to everyone”, expresses the writer.
Among the unmissable suggestions for the audience are the reading and writing workshops by Dolores Reyes, Alejandra Kamiya, Silvia Hopenhayn, Jorge Consiglio, Betina González, Hernán Ronsino, Juan Mattio, Natalia Romero, Mariano Quirós, Marcelo Carnero, Martín Sancia Kawamichi, Yamila Bêgné, the Mover La Lengua collective, Julia Coria and Marcelo Utje.
In post-pandemic times, beyond originality and creativity, the connection and bond with the other can be discovered within the art of writing and in reading spaces. “With all this, we have reason to believe that the FLU is going to be a true reading party, a combination of high culture and high party that all readers deserve.”
