| Description: | The importance of the past comes alive as Almudena Grandes guides her audience on a journey through the process of becoming a writer, using the past century in Spanish history as the basis for her literary work. This lecture will be in English. Almudena Grandes was born in Madrid in 1960. She became widely recognized as a writer in 1989 with her novel Las edades de Lulu (The Ages of Lulu), which won the XI Sonrisa Vertical Prize. Acclaimed by critics and readers, her novels Te llamare Viernes (Ill Call You Friday), Malena es un nombre de tango (Malena Is a Tango Name), Atlas de geografia humana (Atlas of Human Geography), Los aires dificiles (The Wind from the East), Castillos de carton (Cardboard Castles), along with her books of short stories Modelos de mujer (Models of Womankind) and Estaciones de paso (Stations On the Way), and the collection of articles Mercado de Barcelo (The Barcelo Market), have confirmed that she is one of the most solid and internationally-known narrators in recent Spanish literature. Night parking permits may be purchased for $4.00 at vending stations (exact change or credit card).
