#155 Lídia Jorge - What is literature for? (2023x22)

:

Lídia Jorge is one of Portugal's most international writers. Her writing stands out for its originality, diversity of themes (with attention to the social and political changes the world and the country are going through) and unmistakable style. In our conversation, we talked about her most recent novel, "Misericórdia", and the role of literature in society and in our lives.
