Guest of Honor - Germany at the Guadalajara International Book Fair | Arts 21

Once a year, Guadalajara in Mexico becomes the capital of the literary world. The Feria Internacional del Libro that took place this week is the second-largest book fair in the world. Guest of honor was Germany, and among the literary luminaries attending the event was Herta Müller, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. How is German literature seen in the Latin American literary world? And what sort of issues preoccupy its own writers - such as Javier Sicilia, poet, columnist and anti-drug-war campaigner. ARTS.21 finds out.

Ugh another report that should be on books and culture turned into a note on the narco violence what a shame.

This kind of thing makes people believe that Mexico is the most dangerous place in Latin America when many countries in Central and South America (Colombia, Guatemala, Brasil, Venezuela etc) have higher murder rates.

@alexwalls77 They leave us alone a long time ago, the "first world" countries are the first drug consumers.

So much misconception ugh

I must disagree with the comment of @SuperCyberSoldier2 , yes it's true is not all about books, but I like watching people from other countries worry about the horrible situaton we live in, it tells you that we are not alone in this fight. None of what they said isn't true, everything is happening and it's a really serious situation. I don't know who that sees that +50,000 people have died in a stupid war wouldn't talk about it. I congratulate and thank you. Please, do not leave Mexico alone!
