Novelist Ignacio Martínez de Pisón closes the Writers' Library series in Marbella

The 'Writers' Library' series, organized by the Culture Department, will conclude its schedule this Thursday, November 13, with an event featuring the ... novelist, essayist, and screenwriter Ignacio Martínez de Pisón. The event will take place at 7:00 PM at the Hospital Real de la Misericordia, with free admission until full capacity is reached.

Martínez de Pisón (Zaragoza, 1960) is one of the most prominent voices of his generation and has a broad career recognized with awards such as the Critics' Prize (2011) for 'El día de mañana' and the National Narrative Prize (2014) for 'La buena reputación'. As a screenwriter, he has worked on films including 'Las trece rosas', which was nominated for a Goya for Best Original Screenplay, and 'Carreteras secundarias', nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. In his latest work, 'Ropa de casa', he offers generational memoirs that traverse his childhood, adolescence, and formation as a writer.

The meeting with writer Gioconda Belli, canceled

With this event, the series, coordinated and presented by journalist and writer Jesús Marchamalo, closes its 2025 edition after a journey that has allowed attendees to explore the most personal libraries and readings of prominent contemporary authors. Throughout its various editions, this initiative has brought renowned authors to the city who have reflected on the value of books, the titles that have marked their careers, and the way their collections reflect their literary universe.

On another note, the Culture Department informs that the session scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, in which Marchamalo was to converse with writer Gioconda Belli, has been canceled for reasons beyond the organization's control.
