Mark your calendar! Spanish writer Isaac Rosa will hold an open talk in Spanish.

Isaac Rosa’s novel, “Happy Ending” (translated by Marianne Ots), delves into the possibility of love in the contemporary world, as well as economic insecurity, the dream of living in the countryside, parenthood, blended families, sexuality, and fidelity. Rosa addresses these themes with a humanity that surprises with its frankness, ensuring they transcend passing trends. Metaphors imbue a sensitive poetry into what might appear as an ordinary story, while the dialogue between man and woman sets the pace of action and emotions, fluctuating from calm to intensity, rendering the text almost spatial. The narrative is presented retrospectively, with a reverse chronology, from the happy ending to the first encounter, traversing through the resolution of the relationship.

The novel commences with an epilogue, which you can read here.
