Like the New Yorker’s “20 Under 40,” the Hay Festival Bogotá39 list is announced every ten years and is considered a signal of writers to watch in the decade to come. Other honorees include Valeria Luiselli, Samanta Schweblin, and Emiliano Monge, whose novel The Arid Sky will be published by Restless in 2018. The authors will be showcased in a new Hay Festival anthology, Bogotá39-2017, to be published by OneWorld in the UK.
