“The Land of the Great Promise.”

This novel by acclaimed author Juan Villoro tells the story of a Mexican documentary filmmaker who talks in his sleep. He moves to Barcelona, but, after the visit of an old acquaintance, the past catches up with him like a nightmare. For the filmmaker, the dream of a Mexican “land of great promise” burns at the beginning of the novel, during the fire at the Cineteca Nacional, and turns into a nightmare of corruption, drug trafficking, homophobia and other signs of the times.

Guest: Juan Villoro, Writer, Journalist, Professor, Author of “The Land of the Great Promise,” Mexico City.
