Speak, wish
This Nabokovian title suggests that Elizabeth Duval, Sara Torres and Rosario Villarejo will outline a retrospective of desire, of the wishes of childhood and adulthood in the contemporary world. The goal is to map out the manifestations of desire in current literature by writers who have elevated the concept to new heights. The grammar of desire speaks of exploration, sex, ideology and policies that strive to control the story now and in the past. But it also talks about the desire of others, of love, falling in love, the loneliness of those bodies that inhabit the desires of a whole generation.
