The Exchange is looking forward to Fiction Fiesta later this month (17-19th of May, 2013). We are glad to be collaborating with its curator, Richard Gwyn, on making literature travel between Wales and Latin America.

Fiction Fiesta celebrates international fiction and poetry in translation alongside writing from Wales. The 2013 edition brings back international prize-winning writers from FF2012 like Andrés Neuman (Traveller of the Century) and Tiffany Atkinson (Catulla et al), as well as introducing to the UK new internationally renowned authors such as Inés Garland (Piedra, Papel o Tijera) and Eduardo Halfon (The Polish Boxer).

Sioned Puw Rowlands of Wales Literature Exchange will be participating in a panel led by Alexis Nuselovici (chair), with Amanda Hopkinson, Boyd Tonkin and WN Herbert.

Fiction Fiesta is hosted by Cardiff University. The photograph is of Inés Garland.
