FILEY book fair: Expat panel

For the first time, English-language authors residing in Mérida will also present their works at the FILEY book fair.

Marianne Kehoe, Linda Lindholm and Joanna van der Gracht de Rosado will participate in a bilingual panel, “Intercultural Writers in Yucatán – Escritoras Interculturales en Yucatán,” moderated by Dr. Michael K. Schuessler. The three authors will discuss the importance of English language literature in a predominantly Spanish-speaking community. They will also read from their works, and answer questions from the moderator and the audience.

The writers invite Yucatán’s international community to attend their presentation at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 16 in the Salon Uxmal 5.

A huge international book fair is a week crammed with activity. See story.
