Toronto International Festival of Authors: Karmele Jaio

Karmele Jaio will participate in Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) with the support of the Etxepare Basque Institute.

Karmele Jaio and the Costa Rican writer Carlos Fonseca are going to talk about leaving a mark on the literary world, their own career as writers and feeling the necessity to write.

Their most recent novels, ‘Austral’ (Carlos Fonseca, 2022) and ‘Aitaren etxea’ (Karmele Jaio, 2019), explore two different narrations about loving literature, the compulsion to write and the transformative power of stories to uncover the truth.

The debate will be guided by the critic, writer and editor Emily Donaldson on the 23 September at 15:30 in Lakeside Terrace (Toronto).
