THE GEOGRAPHY OF SOLITUDE

For the first time in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Manuel Vilas, one of the most intense and recognizable voices in contemporary Spanish literature, arrives for a meeting dedicated to love, loss, and memory. A writer capable of turning life into narrative matter, Vilas guides readers into the deepest territories of human experience: those where an end becomes the beginning of a new awareness.

In his latest novel, The Best Book in the World, and in the literary journey that has made him famous in Italy and around the world, the author explores the moment when a relationship breaks and leaves space for a universal question: what remains of a love when it no longer exists? Through a sincere, ironic, and poignant writing style, Vilas narrates the fragile balance between nostalgia and rebirth, between the desire to hold on to what we have lost and the necessity to learn to let it go.

After the international success of In Everything There Was Beauty, translated into over twenty languages and winner of the Prix Femina, and the subsequent novels that have solidified his fame, Manuel Vilas returns to share his intimate universe, filled with memories, wounds, and sudden illuminations.

In dialogue with Francesco Chiamulera and Giovanna Melloni, the author will take the audience inside a personal story that becomes a collective experience: because every separation, every absence, and every change tells us something about ourselves. An evening about the power of literature as a tool to understand pain, preserve beauty, and give new meaning to what seemed lost.
