The Fundaci\u00f3n Tres Culturas and the Granada Noir Festival, in collaboration with the publishing house Salamandra, Cervezas Alhambra and the Obra Social 'la Caixa', are organising the presentation of the book Taxi<\/em>by Carlos Zan\u00f3n, on 8 November at 19:30 in Seville and the following day at the same time in Granada.<\/p>\n

Carlos Zan\u00f3n, current curator of the BCNegra Festival and in charge of continuing the mythical Pepe Carvalho, the famous detective created by Manuel V\u00e1zquez Montalb\u00e1n, will present his latest novel, full of darkness, pain and poetry and about his unforgettable characters such as Sandino, the taxi driver who desperately searches for love in the streets of Barcelona to the rhythm of The Clash. The author will be in conversation with the writer Juan Ram\u00f3n Biedma in Seville and with the singer of Ni\u00f1os Mutantes, Juan Alberto Mart\u00ednez, in Granada.<\/p>\n

After presenting Don't call home <\/em>(2012), I was Johnny Thunders <\/em>(2014) y Marley was dead <\/em>(2016), Tres Culturas had to be once again the stage where Carlos Zan\u00f3n returns with his most mature novel, which establishes him as one of the most promising authors in this country.<\/p>\n

In Seville we will also have the performance of the artist Andr\u00e9s Herrera, aka P\u00e1jaro, to put music to the presentation.<\/p>\n

This presentation is part of the activities organised to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Fatima Mernissi Library.<\/p>\n
