Bibliotopia 2026 | Interview with Rosa Montero (in Spanish)

The Power of Strangeness
Moderated by Salomé Kiner

Rosa Montero is a Spanish writer and journalist who has been contributing to the daily newspaper "El País" since 1976. Her prolific literary output, spanning fiction and non-fiction, has won numerous awards and been translated into some thirty languages, blending the personal with the political. Among her books published in English are "The Delta Function" (UNP, 1992, trans. Yolanda Molina Gavilán) and "Beautiful and Dark" (Aunt Lute Books, 2010, trans. Adrienne Mitchell). A rich collage of scientific essay and personal narrative, "The Danger to Be Sane" (Europa Editions, 2026, trans. Lindsey Ford) examines the notion of madness and its role in artistic creation, offering a vital ode to unreason.
