Unwritten Conversations: Stories in the Making with Carlos Teixeira

Unwritten Conversations: Stories in the Making is a joint initiative between the University of Lisbon, the École normale supérieure de Lyon and the University of Madeira, organised by Elena Bollinger, Margarida Martins and Vanessa Guignery. We invite writers, readers, and book lovers to engage in conversation about the art of writing and storytelling.
