In a contemporary world where autobiography is very present, ISLA Festival wants to explore some recent works that capture the fascination, surprise and everyday life or mysteries of others' lives. Alongside writers Fernando Beltrán, author of the literary fiction Bacon sin Bacon, Irene Chikiar Bauer, author of the essay Virginia Woolf y Victoria Ocampo: Biografía de un encuentro, and Nuala O’Connor, author of Seaborne, an intimate and thrilling portrait of the life of Irish pirate Anne Bonny, we will delve into these figures and discover the reasons that led their authors to explore those lives, the challenges they faced, the research process, and to what extent fiction and reality intertwine in their books. Fernando Beltrán is a Spanish poet. He burst onto the literary scene with his poetry collection Aquelarre en Madrid (1982, Adonáis Prize). A versatile namer of emotions, he has published over twenty poetry collections, and his work, widely translated, also includes editions in dialogue with visual artists and translations of Stevenson and Leonard Cohen.

She is co-editor of Preservation, Radicalism and the Avant-Garde Canon (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016), and curator of the exhibition Out of the Ordinary: Contemporary Visions of the Avant-Garde.

No?(1) Worry not if you have reservations as, after the fact, it will amaze you how much this never really happened. A printed programme with information about contributors, schedule and running times will be provided on the night. (1) No. Never face the truth.
