Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Angolan writers Jo\u00e3o Melo and Lopito Feij\u00f3o are among the 35 guests for the Festival Livros a Oeste, which takes place between 10 and 14 May in Lourinh\u00e3, according to the program released.<\/b><\/p>\n

The festival, in the Lisbon district, celebrates its 10th anniversary with the theme “Language is a virus”.<\/p>\n

On the first day, writers Rui Zink, Afonso Cruz and the president of the National Education Council, Maria Em\u00edlia Brederode Santos, will participate in the meeting “We have books, we are free”.<\/p>\n

Caricaturist and comic book author Nuno Saraiva opens the exhibition “Diary of a quarantine”, with the same name as the book he published in 2021, and will speak at the conference “Reality is always more absurd”.<\/p>\n

On the 11th, the writers Jos\u00e9 Carlos Barros, author of the novel “As Pe\u00e7as Invis\u00edveis”, and the Angolan Lopito Feij\u00f3o, who wrote “Corpo a Corpo”, will talk about “the invisible people and desires and doctrinal maritimities” and “the poetry is what heals us\u201d. This last meeting has the participation of Jo\u00e3o Melo, who is also Angolan, who publishes a new title in Portugal, “Is this book a novel?”.<\/p>\n

Singer and writer S\u00e9rgio Godinho, Guinean writer Tony Tcheka and Jo\u00e3o Melo also participate in the panel “We have so polite ghosts, we fall asleep on your shoulder”, verses from the poem “Complaint of censored young souls”, by Nat\u00e1lia Correia, set to music by Jos\u00e9 M\u00e1rio Branco, in the album “Mudam-se os tempo, se mudam-as wills”.<\/p>\n

The 12th is dedicated to Jos\u00e9 Saramago, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998, with two conferences.<\/p>\n

In the first one, “Saramago: uma vida d’escrita”, journalist Carlos Vaz Marques, former minister and administrator of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Guilherme d’Oliveira Martins, literary critic Carlos Reis and journalist Pilar del Rio, president of the Jos\u00e9 Saramago Foundation.<\/p>\n

The second, “The infinite line and a long journey with Jos\u00e9 Saramago”, has the authors Miguel Real and Jo\u00e3o C\u00e9u e Silva.<\/p>\n

On the last day, writers M\u00e1rio Zambujal, Rita Ferro and Rodrigo Moita de Deus will speak at the conference “Talking is how we understand each other”.<\/p>\n

Every day, there are short stories and poetry sessions, book presentations, a book fair, and the theater workshop “I stole a book in the reading booth and now I’m going to read”, ending with the presentation of a show.<\/p>\n

The Festival Livros a Oeste has been held every year since 2012, not taking place in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

This year’s theme, “Language is a virus”, recovers an expression by the American writer William S. Burroughs, coming from one of his essays from the 1970s, which singer, declaimer, composer and director Laurie Anderson also used on “Home of the Brave”, one of the best-known songs from his 1986 album.<\/p>\n
