Richard Ford Lecture at CCCB: Extraliterary Influences
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Ford will deliver a lecture titled 'Influencias extraliterarias' at the CCCB in Barcelona on May 26, 2026. The talk, based on his essay collection 'En palabras sencillas' (part of the new Feltrinelli Lecturas series), explores how art and morality, public and private spheres intertwine as expressions of a shared life experience. Ford will reflect on his journey from Mississippi to Mexico, examining how politics infiltrates intimacy, language, and everyday observation. The event features a conversation with Silvia Sesé. Tickets are €3, with free admission for CCCB Friends, unemployed individuals, teachers, and pensioners with the Tarjeta Rosa.
