In the fourth episode of this season, Jess chats to author Julianne Pachico. Julianne's debut was 'The Lucky Ones', a collection of interlinked stories, following a group of school girls in Colombia. Julianne's second book, 'The Anthill', which is out next month, follows a young woman returning to Colombia and the city of Medellin, where she lived until she was eight, to volunteer at an after-school community centre run by her childhood friend.
Join Julianne and Jess as they discuss different perceptions of a country, inside and outside, writing about childhood and political violence, and hear about a bunch of excellent contemporary Colombian books recommended by Julianne!
