Mexican novelist Juan Rulfo, an evening in Comala

Mexican writer Juan Rulfo is considered one of the finest novelists and short-story creators in 20th century Latin America, though his output, consisting essentially of two books, was very small. His most influential work includes the short story El Llano en llamas, the novel Pedro Paramo and the novella El gallo de oro. Because of the themes of his fiction, he is often seen as the last of the novelists of the Mexican Revolution.

In this online talk, lecturers Olivia Vázquez-Medina, Lucy O'Sullivan and Amit Thakkar discuss different aspects of his work with his son, filmmaker Juan Carlos Rulfo.
