Lilit Thwaites (translator) will lead the conversation with Víctor, and Consuelo Martínez Reyes will interpret for the author.

He was the runner-up for the VIII Fernando Lara Award with El abismo de los sueños (2003), and won the Tiflos de Novela Award with El peso de los muertos (2006). La tristeza del samurai (Alrevés, 2011; The Sadness of the Samurai, Henry Holt, 2012) was translated into 10 languages and received Le Prix du Polar Européen 2012 and was runner-up of the Prix Polar SNCF 2013 in France. This was followed by Respirar por la herida (Alrevés 2013; The Heart Tastes Bitter, Scribe, 2016), and Un millón de gotas (2014) winner of the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière 2015 and best foreign noir novel (Magazine Lire).
