Outriders: Mariana Enriquez & Kevin MacNeil at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
As part of our Outriders project to explore the Americas, Scottish novelist Kevin MacNeil travelled around Argentina with journalist, novelist and short story writer Mariana Enriquez. Starting in Buenos Aires, the writers set off in search of lost voices, both literary and of other citizens within the capital city. MacNeil travelled across the Pampas to the city of Cordoba, while Enriquez embarked on her own journey into the imagination of a Scottish writer, both in search of UFOs. In this event recorded live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival, they share some of their unforgettable experiences, and some of the writing inspired by the journey. Chaired by Book Festival Director Nick Barley.

El Ateneo in Buenos Aires is a World’s Best Bookstore
For video trailer:
For series:
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (2014) — One of the most spectacular bookstores in the world was once a magnificent theater. El Ateneo in Recoleta is a book lover’s paradise. Its balconies circle a great golden hall many stories tall filled with books, books, and more books, which a vaulted, fresco-covered ceiling can hardly contain.

This video is from Episode 7: When the Journey Never Ended
Based on true experiences in Antarctica and Argentina, The Princess of the Bottom of the World by Dan Linehan ( tells the story of Scott Sullivan, a man who must travel to the coldest and most remote place on Earth to warm his heart. Provocative, humorous, thought-provoking, and full of wonder, the multimedia series immerses into the natural world and bounds along an international adventure that features deadly storms, shipwrecks, pirates, iceberg collisions, and a course correction leading to a wild romance with an Argentine filmmaker.

Samanta Schweblin & Valeria Luiselli Interview: Revelation of a Secret
Get closer to contemporary Latin American literature in this conversation between friends and writers, Mexican Valeria Luiselli and Argentinean Samanta Schweblin – on feeling passionate about their work, living abroad and writing in and out of your mother tongue.
“I fell in love with literature reading Latin-American writers… but when I discovered the North American writers I felt that drive to deconstruct a text,” says Schweblin. In the 1990s when she was a teenager in Buenos Aires and started buying books, ninety per cent of the new arrivals were translations of North American writers and hardly any from e.g. Europe. For Luiselli, who started reading while living in South Africa, her books were in Spanish brought to her by her sisters from Mexico: “So my introduction to literature in English, which indeed has been one of my two pillars as a reader, started with the worse ones, what you read at school… awful works that no one should never ever read.” It was at secondary school in India that she connected to her mother tongue when she started reading books aloud in Spanish – with a Spanish-speaking group – by writers such as Gabriel García Márquez: “So English literature has been part of my education, but despite living and studying in English-speaking countries, my introduction to literature was through Spanish.”
“In the end, you’re a stranger. Writing always has something to do with that.” Both writers live abroad and feel that this affects their writing in the sense that it enables them to look at their country from a distance. For Schweblin “Berlin is a white and pure desk that shelters and isolates me, and that’s perfect for my writing. But to what extent can you live in that isolation?” At some point, she feels, you have to go back “in order to be reunited with all the noise and everything you try to get away from.” Luiselli, who has lived in New York for almost ten years, agrees that living abroad offers a form of “invisibility” and allows you to view your country “from a distance to your immediate reality.” Luiselli adds that before embarking upon her first book, she decided that she would write it in Spanish and not English, which had been the language of her education: “Spanish could be some kind of playground.” She did, however, begin to write in English, when her daughter started speaking it: “It became a familiar language at a deeper level – not like a mother tongue, but a ‘daughter tongue.’”
On the subject of the freedom of writing, Luiselli feels that not losing that freedom is the only thing that makes your task interesting and worthy, and Schweblin follows up by arguing that “literature is always a journey that promises to learn something new that is vital…Something that is going to really shake you up.” Luiselli follows up on this by quoting the Russian Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky: “The experience of good literature, like great friendships, come out of the revelation of a secret. Not in the sense of revealing something dark, but a passion that is suddenly transmitted or shared.”
Samanta Schweblin (b. 1978) is an Argentinian writer. Her first publications – two slim volumes of prose, ‘The Core of the Disturbance’ (2002) and ‘Birds in the Mouth’ (2009) – immediately led to her international breakthrough. Her short story collections have received numerous awards, including the prestigious Juan Rulfo Story Prize. Her original short novel ‘Fever Dream’ (2017, originally published 2014) is her first novel translated into English and was shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize. Both Mario Vargas Llosa and the literary magazine Granta have proclaimed Schweblin as one of the most interesting contemporary young Spanish-language writers. She lives and works in Berlin.
Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico in 1983 but, the daughter of a diplomat, spent her childhood traveling the world. Her award-winning novels have aroused media attention as an important part of a new wave in Latin-American literature. She is the author of the internationally acclaimed novel ‘Faces in the Crowd’ (2014, originally published 2011), which won the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction. Her 2015 novel ‘The Story of My Teeth’ won the Los Angeles Times Prize for Best Fiction and the Azul Price in Canada. Luiselli is also the recipient of the National Book Foundation ‘5 under 35’ award (2014). Her work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, Granta and The New Yorker. She lives and works in New York City.
Samanta Schweblin and Valeria Luiselli were interviewed by Peter Adolphsen at Hotel Rungstedgaard in Denmark in connection with the Louisiana Literature festival in August 2017.
