16:00: El Affair interminable. In January 1974, the Morality Division of the Federal Police seized all copies of The Buenos Aires Affair, Manuel Puig’s third novel. The book was then banned as pornography. 50 years after that controversy, we reignite the debate about what were the elements that caused the persecution of the author and the censorship of his book. Participants: Ariel Schettini, Rodolfo Omar Serio, Dany Salvatierra. Presented by: Nicolás Colfer. Room: Pride and Prejudice: Space for Sexual Diversity and Culture. Pavilion: Ocher Pavilion
16:00: Women in horror literature. Presentation of Dantescas. Twelve women. Twelve stories. Different times and places in the Western world. These authors have something in common: whether in life or in work – or both – they all descended into hell; to save themselves or to save others. Participates: María Fernanda Ampuero and Dolores Reyes. Presented by: Agustina de Diego. Organized by: Editorial Fera and Distribuidora Big Sur. Room: Alejandra Pizarnik. Pavilion: Yellow Pavilion.

7:00 p.m.: “Everything is Fiction” is a 2-hour live writing workshop, for anyone who wants to get lost in a sheet of paper. The Blue Notebook invites you to an experience where fiction, improvisation, play and autobiography come together on the way to unlock creativity and find the stories we carry inside. At the end we hold an open microphone for those who are willing to share something of what they wrote. The only thing you need is a pen, a notebook and a desire to fill it out. You will take away drafts and ideas to continue working. Participation in the workshop is for those over 18 years of age. Participates: Juan Sklar. Organized by: El Libro Foundation / El Cuaderno Azul. Room: Tulio Halperín Donghi. Pavilion: Yellow Pavilion
