The Castilian and Leonese Institute of Language is organizing on Monday, November 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the Public Library of Soria, the literary proposal The Future is Written, directed by the writer, literary critic and anthologist José Ignacio García. This new initiative offers the public a panoramic tour of the literature of Castile and León, paying attention to thirty current names in the literature of the Community, with a selection that attends, in each space where it is programmed, to criteria such as origin, place of residence, written work, awards and perspectives generated by the authors.

Among the names that will appear in this high-speed tour are Elvira Sastre, Alberto Olmos, Juan Manuel de Prada, Pablo Andrés Escapa, Pilar Fraile, Violeta Gil, Charo Alonso, Marta Muñiz, Noemí Valiente, Luis Artigue, José Ángel Barrueco, Ignacio Abad, Ángel Vallecillo, Mario Crespo, Rodrigo Martín Noriega, Enrique Mario Crespo, Enrique Llamas, Ana Mer Llamas, Ana Merino, José C. Vales, Daniel Monedero, the late José Manuel de la Huerga, Emilio Gancedo or Asier Aparicio. This list closes with four really young and exciting promises: Ana Flecha Marco from León, Mateo Martínez Martija from Burgos (Young Art Award, 2024 from the Junta de Castilla y León), Raquel Delgado from Valladolid and Samuel Marina Franco from Palencia.

This meeting includes a second part reserved for highlighting the profile of eight current names in the literature of Castile and León -four men and four women- who, due to their career, solidity and variety of their work and their literary category, deserve a specific section, a walk through their life, their work and their way of understanding and expressing literature. The different provinces will be represented in this express trip, which will allow us to refresh our memory in some cases and, in others, to shed light on names as unknown as they are promising.

The women's team is made up of Noemí Sabugal and Susana Barragués Sainz from León, Mar Sancho from Valladolid and Alcaná Beatriz from Béjar, who only needed her novel Teseo en llamas , winner of the 2023 Ciudad de Salamanca Novel Prize, to earn the respect of critics and readers. The men's block is made up of Alberto R. Torices from León, Óscar Esquivias from Burgos - the youngest winner of the Castile and León Literature Prize in its history - and Rubén Abella from Valladolid and Alejandro Cuevas, the latter winner of the Castile and León Critics' Prize with his Literatura barata (Menoscuarto).
