Included in the program "Read, think, imagine", this Thursday.
May 17, at 8:00 pm, the Josefina Soria Library of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center, the book "Joyas robadas" (Amargord Editorial, 2017), by the poet and writer Luis Alonso, is presented by Fulgencia Plazas, director of the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena.
With a prologue by Gustavo Martín Garzo, stolen jewelry is in a way a form of autobiography;
a very personal book made with hundreds of books and movies, articles, stories, aphorisms, graffiti, songs, breveries.
All those fragments are the fruit of years of walking and seeing, reading, listening, keeping in memory or taking notes.
It is not a mere anthology of quotations, but a large mosaic of findings, a multiscreen by which the reader is passing like a person who zaps.
