Espacio Fundación Telefónica hosted a special event featuring the acclaimed Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, who presented her latest work, 'El buen mal'. Schweblin was accompanied by journalist Marta Peirano for this literary encounter. 'El buen mal' is a new collection of short stories published by Seix Barral in 2025, following Schweblin's successful previous works such as 'Pájaros en la boca', 'Distancia de rescate', and 'Kentukis'. The stories in 'El buen mal' explore characters at a point of no return, facing tragedy, vulnerability, and the intrusion of the strange into their lives. Schweblin's prose is noted for its blend of tension and truth, creating a literary universe where everyday monsters feel close and her writing evokes both astonishment and unease.
The event took place on March 11, 2025, from 19:00 to 20:30. It was available via live streaming and could be followed on social media with the hashtag #ElBuenMal. The event also included audio accessibility measures such as a magnetic induction loop, LSE (Spanish Sign Language), and amplified sound via headphones. Recordings of the event are available in the venue's media library.
