Rosa Chacel and James Joyce

This year is the centenary of Spain’s first publication regarding the work of James Joyce, which was a review by Antonio Marichalar about the upcoming Spanish translation of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). Even though the translation was officially published in 1926, some writers were fortunate to get an early copy of the novel and explore its contents. One of these writers was Rosa Chacel, who immediately fell in love with Joyce’s novel and started to experiment with his techniques.

Joycean scholar Mónica Galindo González will guide the audience through Rosa Chacel’s work and its Joycean connections. After a reading of texts by both writers, the event will be followed by a Q&A section.

Free event, no booking required.
