The award-winning Portuguese writer Lídia Jorge, author of 'El día de los prodigios' or 'El fugitivo que dibujaba pájaros', stars on Monday, July 22, the literary encounters of La Mar de Letras, a literary section of La Mar de Músicas that this year has Portugal as the guest country.
Jorge will be at 19:00 in the auditorium of the Museo del Teatro Romano in a chat with RNE journalist Lara López.
Lídia Jorge was born in the Algarve in 1946 in a family of peasants and today works as a teacher at the Faculty of Letters in Lisbon.
His first novel The Day of the Prodigies (1980), was an important literary event, beginning a new stage in the recent Portuguese narrative.
To this work they continued the pier of the snacks (1982), Noticia of the wild city (1984), the coast of the murmurs (1988), the last dueña (1992), Or Jardim sem Limites (1995) and the fugitive that drew Birds (1998), his most nationally and internationally awarded novel.
Her work, of enormous coherence, is marked by her experiences as a witness to the colonial wars in Angola and Mozambique, where she lived for several years and at different times as a teacher.
This experience is palpable in some of his books, particularly in La costa de los murmullos, which evokes the ancestral realities of deep Portugal and the struggle against oppression.
He has also written the play A Maçon (1996), the collection of short stories entitled Marido y otros cuentos (1997) and the collection of nine stories Los tiempos del esplendor (2017) where one of the author's obsessions beats, the look white of childhood.
