The author of 14 books, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida’s works have been translated into ten languages and she has won numerous awards. She has taught at New York University and is currently a consultant in the area of Human Rights, Equal Opportunities and Non-Discrimination for the Casa Civil of the President of the Portuguese Republic.
José Viale Moutinho, winner of the dst 2024 Grand Prize for Literature, has written several titles that have won him dozens of awards. He is also the author of a photobiography of Camilo and a Camilo bibliography, and has written numerous works on Popular Literature, the Spanish Civil War and the Nazi concentration camps, as well as having an extensive collection of children’s books. His books have been translated in Spain, Germany, the Soviet Union, Brazil, Bulgaria, and Hungary, among others, including into Braille.
This activity initiated by the dstgroup, and never previously undertaken in Portugal, aims to take Portuguese authors to read short stories from their works in the bookshops that still remain in cities across the country. The project has already taken place in bookshops in the cities of Braga, Leiria, Setúbal, Vila Nova de Gaia, Angra do Heroísmo, Vila Real and Évora, among others.
“I took part in one of these sessions, with the writer Abel Neves, where a large number of enthusiastic readers joined us for a lively and informal conversation, culturally rich and fruitful for all the participants, starting with the writers, who are always curious and interested in knowing how they are read and interpreted, and which doubts, questions and discussions they may raise,” says Teolinda Gersão, co-protagonist of the Évora session.
“There are few things in this world we can still call ‘miracles.’ Twenty or thirty people getting together in a bookshop to listen to and tell stories is one of them. It is as if we have managed to recover the mysterious thread that connects us to each other and that originates from the depths of time. In those moments, we are, once again, and merely human,” adds Rui Manuel Amaral, co-protagonist of one of the sessions in Braga.
This event, common in countries such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, has now taken root in Portugal, as it has been so well received and acclaimed by the public.
“‘dst - alive in bookshops’ has been marvelous. It has already been to eight different places, eight independent bookshops, 16 authors have taken part, and it has given rise to beautiful conversations based on those texts. As a curator I can be seen to be suspicious, but it has been very nice to see an idea like this hitting the road, and building a future,” says Jacinto Lucas Pires, curator of this initiative.
This project is organized by the Associação Palavrão and is free of charge.
