From September 23 to 26, the elite of the Spanish crime novel will be installed at the Alicante Museum of Contemporary Art (MACA) and at the Palacio del Portalet (LAB15) to participate in the first edition of the Alicante Noir Crime Fiction Festival.
They will be joined by the authors selected in the call “New talents from Alicante”: Altea Cantarero, Luis Sala Miquel, JM Ferri and the representation of Literates, with Adrián Mazón, Raquel González and Marina Pérez.
For four days, MACA will become the setting for different round tables that will delve into the differences between criminal fiction, true crime and the noir genre or in narrative techniques such as asphyxiating the reader or creating outcomes; of meetings with authors and book signings.
Meanwhile, LAB15 will host three workshops aimed at writing criminal fiction from different perspectives, taught by experts in the genre and a children’s workshop with the collaboration of the Alicante Water Museum Pozos de Garrigós.
Alicante Noir also awards three prizes selected by the festival jury, whose finalists are: Elia Barceló and Blas Ruiz Grau in the Costa Blanca category; Graziella Moreno and Marta Robles in the National modality; and Joel Dicker and John Banville in the International mode. The award winners will be announced during the festival.
The activities will be with free admission until the capacity is completed via reservation in the email [email protected].
The Workshops have a maximum capacity of fifteen places that can be requested by mail to [email protected].
All the information on the Alicante Noir program is available on the alicantenoir.com website and on the social networks @AlicanteNoir (Instagram), Alicante Noir (Facebook), @AlicanteNoir (Twitter) and Alicante Noir (YouTube).
