On Thursday, October 25, Cartagena Piensa addresses the issue of a non-carnivorous diet and the personal, environmental and social implications of this election with Javier Morales, journalist and novelist, who will present his latest book 'The day I stopped eating animals' ( Sílex Ediciones, 2017).
An essay halfway between the autobiography, the journalistic report and the literary story.
Morales will be presented by Francisco Béjar, professor of Philosophy and writer, in an act that will take place at 8:00 p.m. at the Josefina Soria Library of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center, and admission is free until full capacity is reached.
In the words of the author, "writing this book has been for me as a journey in which the most important thing, as we know from Homer, has not been the destination but the journey, a trip in which I have talked with some of the people that they have meditated more on the rights of animals in Spain, from philosophers to activists, to learn from them, a trip also through my own memory, of readings that have shaped what I am, in search of answers ", affirms Morales .
Javier Morales has a degree in Journalism from the Complutense University of Madrid, the city where he currently lives.
Prepares a doctoral thesis on the writer and art critic John Berger in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Autonomous University of Madrid.
He is the author of the novels 'Trabajar cans' and 'Pequeñas biografías por encargo' and the short stories 'Eight stories and a half', 'Lisboa' and 'La despedida', all of them with a good reception from critics.
He has collaborated with El País, El Mundo, EFE, Leer, Quimera, among others.
For years he has maintained a Sunday column on books, Rest Area, in El Asombrario, one of the most traditional cultural magazines, associated with the Publico.es newspaper.
