Festival Eñe is scheduled for 4 and 5 November at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid and brings together writers, publishers, journalists and literature enthusiasts. This year the festival is directed by the writer Marta Sanz, whose programme for learning about the uses of literature can read about in this manifesto >
Eñe aims to be the eye of a hurricane that links mainstream literature with everyday literary life in neighbourhoods, cultural associations and reading clubs in order to spread both new ideas and very old ideas that might be worth revisiting. Eñe 2016 reflects on a rapidly changing world, questioning whether the medium really is the message and on what writing well means.
The festival offers a highly varied schedule of activities including workshops, exhibitions, reading clubs, trialogues, roundtables, interviews and theatre monologues. As in previous years, it is staging a session of “Four publishers seek an author”, which provides new writers with an opportunity to show their unpublished works to professionals.
