A feature by Fernanda Melchor
As I’ve mentioned, this prize has enormous importance to me given both the personal story and work of Anna Seghers herself, in particular owing to the relevance of migration to her work: not merely as a theme but as a central ethical concern. . .
A feature by Rodrigo Hasbún
MC: Yes, I write just one or two pages a day, only in the mornings, and I never add or take out anything, but what is important is that I never have a plan or a story in mind. Each page is revealed to me at the moment I start to write. Each page could (and does) change everything. It is the only way that I can write, for writing is not a job for me, nor an art, but a faith, a sort of a personal religion. To go on writing I don’t need to know where I’m heading, but only that I can do it, that I’m the only one who can. . .
