Book-signing

Presentation of the book "La dulce existencia"

Milena Busquets returned to the MOP Foundation to present her new book, La dulce existencia, in conversation with journalist Andrea Aguilar.

In 2015, Milena Busquets published También esto pasará, a novel that captured the pain of losing her mother and the reaffirmation of life with an unmistakable blend of lightness and lucidity. Ten years later, as its film adaptation is being shot, the author returns to the world she described and reinvented. This return is, at once, both vertigo and longing: “I want to stay here,” she confesses. “And let it all start again.”
