Overview
- The festival will stream its main program live online at no cost, opening talks and book events to viewers far from Araxá.
- Angolan novelist José Eduardo Agualusa is the edition’s honoree and will present his new book, Tudo sobre Deus, published by Tusquets.
- Set in the Angolan desert, the novel takes up themes of finitude, memory, and family ties without revealing story turns.
- This year’s theme, “Meu lugar no mundo,” draws on geographer Milton Santos to guide debates on identity, territory, and belonging.
- Community programming includes a citywide student writing contest that now adds an adult-education EJA category and analog photo exhibits made by local students.
