Held at the Writing & Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University, Pedro Mairal read a literary piece and had a Q&A with Assoc. Prof. Chris Andrews.
Pedro Mairal’s 2015 collection of columns and essays, Maniobras de evasion (Evasive Manouvers), examines his own writing life, both in Buenos Aires and as a frequent traveller.
In this reading and conversation with Associate Professor Chris Andrews, visiting writer Mairal focused on the intersection of creative subjects and life, from literary prizes to bus accidents and fatherhood, and engaged with the dark corners of the creative mind to present his own writing as a method of survival.
