Writer and essayist Pankaj Mishra explores the contradictions of a world marked by inequalities, the legacy of colonialism and the difficult understanding between the West and the global South.

Twenty years after his acclaimed literary debut, The Romantics (Picador, 1999, published in Catalan by Empúries, 2000), and after writing several essays on the crisis of liberalism and the rise of populism, Pankaj Mishra has returned to the genre of fiction with the novel Run and Hide (published in Spanish by Galaxia Gutenberg, 2022). This powerful story places us in the inequalities generated by the current global order. The writer does so driven by the conviction that the literary imagination is perhaps the best tool to understand our present.

Event will be held in English with simultaneous translation from English to Catalan.
