During the conversations, the audience will have an overview of the writing process, the relationships with the social and political reality of Brazil, the favorite themes and the works of these great masters of literature. According to the mediator Ana Beatriz Demarchi Barel: “We invite three writers whose works bring to the center of discussion themes or characters that are not very privileged in literature. The publications also have a strong impact among readers and I believe this is partly due to the fact that the writers accept the challenge of dealing with difficult issues , who run on the fringes of society; for being fearless and discussing established ideas, questioning them”, explains the mediator who has a PhD in Literature from Université Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle and a post-doctorate in History from Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa, at IEB-USP. The event will also showcase new talents, such as the young writer Fabiana Vanz Dias, who launched her first book “Sobre a coragem do medo e outras loucas sane” (About the courage of fear and other healthy madness), published by Patuá. According to the course coordinator at Casa-Museu Ema Klabin, Cristina Moutela, the meetings follow the theme of Casa-Museu Ema Klabin in 2020 “Other Narratives”. “In these meetings with writers we intend to bring pieces of Brazil, recorded by other perspectives, other narratives”.
