Antonio Muñoz Molina is the author of more than thirty books, most of them novels, but also essays, memoirs and collections of essays. He was the reci-pient of the Jerusalem Prize in 2013. His novel “Like a Fading Shadow” was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize in 2018. The following one, “To Walk Alone in the Crowd”, was awarded the Prix Médicis Étranger in France last year. He lives in Madrid and Lisbon and is married to fellow writer Elvira Lindo.
Award winning Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina's novel, Un andar solitario entre la gente, recently translated into English as, To Walk Alone in the Crowd, is an absorbing part memoir, part novel and part chronicle of urban wandering. Deeply rooted in nostalgia of the mundane yet extraordinary, Molina's narrative is a skillful take on contemporary life and the profundity of the digital and concrete jungles around us. His other novels include In the Night of Time, Sepharad, and Like a Fading Shadow. In conversation with academic and author Maneesha Taneja, Molina gives us a peek into his writing style and the ecological and aesthetic inspirations behind his most recent work.
