Madrid Again

The Oxford Centre for Life-Writing

Soledad Fox Maura on the launch of her novel, in conversation wtih Hannie Lawlor.

Following her Research Forum talk in Trinity 2020, 'The Elusive Subject: Biographies of Exiles' Soledad Fox Maura returns to the OCLW programme for the launch of her first novel, Madrid Again (Simon &amp; Schuster), in conversation with Hannie Lawlor. Told with humor, candor, and grit, Madrid Again is a highly original novel, and an homage to the haunting power of history, and how it shapes the identity of two generations of women. The video talk will be available to watch on the <a href="https://oclw.web.ox.ac.uk/article/madrid-again" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">OCLW Podcast Channel</a> from 1pm on the advertised date. There is no need to register if you would simply like to watch the talk - you can do so at at any time and the video will remain online indefinitely. If you would like to take part in the Zoom Q&A with the speaker you need to register in advance (using the green button, above right) and we will send you an invitation by email. Soledad Fox Maura is the V-Nee Yeh ‘81 Professor at Williams College. She has a PhD in Comparative Literature from the Graduate Center of The City University of New York. She has written two biographies that have been published in English, Spanish, and French. The first one is about Constancia de la Mora, aka one of the Spanish “Mitford Sisters” who rebelled against her wealthy and conservative upbringing to become a one-woman anti-Fascist force during the Spanish Civil War; and the second about Jorge Semprún, who fought in the French Resistance, survived Buchenwald, and went on to become a serial autobiographer, auto-fiction writer, and Oscar nominee for two screenplays. At the moment she is preparing editions of memoirs written by two Spanish women in exile, and working on a collection of biographical essays about American collectors, soldiers, writers, artists, and impresarios, and politicians in 20th century Spain.
