Soccer and literature meet this week at Instituto Cervantes New York

“Great voices from Mexico” event features Juan Villoro's “The Private Life of the Goal”, Wednesday, November 19, at 7 p.m.

Juan Villoro is well known as both a sports journalist and a writer. These two professions, as the Mexican proverb goes, are the same but different. Both reflect and conceal endless micro stories taken from reality, prompting the Mexican writer to consider whether a great play could win the Pulitzer Prize, as well as the connections between soccer, literature and journalism.

The event will be in Spanish and English with simultaneous translation, and the collaboration of Naief Yehya.

General Admission: $10. ICNY Members: $5.

Instituto Cervantes New York: 211 East 49th St, New York, NY 10017.
