As part of our new podcast series Six Writers in Search of a Reader currently being presented and recorded at The Cervantes Institute in London, we offer you our first public discussion on the great but sadly late Argentinian writer, diarist and critic, Ricardo Piglia. This public homage coincided with the publication in English of The Diaries of Emilio Renzi by Restless Books and to commemorate Piglia -and Renzi- we invited Professor John Kraniauskas from Birkbeck College and the young writer, novelist and lecturer at Cambridge University, Carlos Fonseca. We recorded live our conversation on the role that fiction plays in the creation of the nation state and the great institutions; diary writing as a literary genre and a self mitologising practice; the prewar Argentinian and Uruguayan literary tradition and how Piglia pointed the way to how to write novels after the big Latin American Boom authors. With a live audience plus a Q&A session. Presented by Juan Toledo and Francesc Puértolas
