Interviews in the Spanish Press about the new Book

Stories Left in Stone, Trails and Traces in Cáceres, Spain
 

This weekend the regional and local press both published interviews with me (in Spanish) about my new book, Stories Left in Stone, Trails and Traces in Cáceres, Spain, published by the University of Alberta Press

The first interview in Avuelapluma is a very indepth deep-dive into the book and what brought it about.

The second is by the prolific local writer J.R Alonso de la Torre in the HOY. It goes a bit into my background and even lightly touchs upon some polemics that a few of the more 'sensitive' readers immediately took offense to. Something that is inevitable while they cling to an atavistic, outdated vision of the country.
