Hermes Mallea, esteemed architect and a FRIENDS board member, joins us at the Americas Society for a look at his latest book, Havana Living Today: Cuban Home Style Now. 

Spanish writer Nuria Amat (Amor y Guerra, 2012) engages in a dialogue about historical memory and identity in Latin America and Spain with essayist and political analyst David Rieff (In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and Its Ironies, 2016).

Soledad Fox, a professor of Spanish and comparative literature at Williams College, recently published a biography of writer, politician and Buchenwald survivor Jorge Semprún (1923–2011). As the book is about to be published in English, she discusses her approach of 20th-century Europe through the biographical genre.
