Audio 16

Samanta Schweblin is from Argentina and has been twice-nominated for the International Booker Prize and Brazilian poet and essayist Ricardo Domeneck, who was awarded the National Library Prize in Rio de Janeiro and the Premio Jabuti.

Their conversation looks at how their writing has changed since leaving their home countries, the role of satire in a strange world and why Berlin is still a worthwhile place to make a home as a writer.
