An Evening with Esther García Llovet – National Book Council 🇬🇧

Join us for an evening with critically acclaimed Spanish novelist Esther García Llovet, who will be interviewed by interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and researcher Charlie Cauchi.

García Llovet’s narrative works have carved a significant niche in international contemporary fiction; offering readers an unfiltered glimpse of present-day Spain. In Spanish Beauty, Llovet turns sleaze into oblique beauty, bringing in crime noir aesthetics to her depiction of the infamous portside party city of Benidorm; while The Times Literary Supplement describes Sánchez, her second work to be translated into English, as “a novel about the underbelly of glittering Madrid”.
Esther García Llovet’s participation was made possible with the support of the Embassy of Spain in Malta.
The event will be followed by a book signing. Participation will be capped on a first-come, first-served basis. Entrance is free but registration is required.

García Llovet was born in Málaga in 1963. She moved to Madrid in 1970 to study clinical psychology and film direction, and she has lived there ever since. She started writing in 2000 and has written eight novels, including the three novels of her acclaimed Snapshot Trilogy of Madrid. Spanish Beauty is the first episode of her new Trilogy of the Spanish Levant.

Her works have achieved critical success and cult status for their intense, cinematic style and offbeat Chandleresque realism. García Llovet writes for several different cultural anthologies and periodicals, is a translator from English and a well-respected photographer.
