PETROPERU starts 80’s Peruvian Narrators Cycle

In the framework of its permanent commitment to the promotion and dissemination of the cultural expression of our society, PETROPERU will open this Friday 20 the 80’s PERUVIAN NARRATOR CYCLE, which seeks to offer testimonies of renowned national writers born between 1947 and 1962 and that had their literary start in that decade.

This cycle will consist of five sessions, one hour and 45 minutes each. In each of them two narrators will participate, who will make known the motivations, the literary influences and the reasons why they decided to dedicate themselves to writing.

In addition, in order to maintain the agility of these presentations, the audience will be allowed to interact with the writers, with whom they will seek to maintain a fluid and expressive dialogue, in order to share their experiences and details that led them to stand out in this countryside.

Guillermo Niño de Guzmán and Jorge Valenzuela will be the guests of the opening day, which will take place on Friday, April 20, at the PETROPERU auditorium, on Av. Enrique Canaval Moreyra 150, San Isidro, from 7:00 p.m. Admission is completely free.

Subsequently, similar evenings will be held on the 24th and 27th of this month.

Niño de Guzmán is a prominent storyteller and journalist. He studied Literature at the PUCP and has written scripts for film and TV, obtaining several awards, among which the José María Arguedas Award, from the National Council of Science and Technology.

Jorge Valenzuela is a writer and university professor. He studied Literature at the UNMSM. He is considered one of the most representative narrators of the generation of the 80s, continuator of the most classic and traditional story style, the one that goes from Clemente Palma and Valdelomar to Julio Ramón Ribeyro.
