Bendigo Writers Festival and Byron Bay Writers Festival presents Spanish crime writer, Victor del Arbol, with the support of AC/E. Australia's two biggest and best regional writers festivals present one of Spain's most exciting new writers, whose books are increasingly popular in English translation. The public has the opportunity of meeting Víctor del Árbol, whose fast-paced, gritty and atmospheric books will take them down the back streets of Barcelona for an unforgettable good read. Victor will speak about his books, including "Breathing Through the Wound" and "The Sadness of the Samurai", with translator and Spanish literature expert Lilit Thwaites for an insight into contemporary Spanish writing and publishing.
