A Time Without Hugs. Chronicles of a Pandemic
Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Liceo Theatre (Word Room). 8:00 PM. Free entry until full capacity. Book presentation.
A Time Without Hugs. Chronicles of a Pandemic brings together the voices of Asunción Escribano and Charo Alonso to provide a literary testimony of the days of confinement caused by COVID-19. Through diaries and brief chronicles, the authors transform the experience of confinement into a reflection on human fragility, memory, hope, and the need for affection.
The book explores fear, loss, solidarity, and the beauty of small daily gestures, while championing literature, culture, and love as forms of resistance. More than a chronicle of the pandemic, it is a profoundly human book that preserves the emotional memory of an exceptional time and reminds us of the irreplaceable value of closeness and hugs.
Book presentation, with Asunción Escribano and Charo Alonso. A publication by Edifsa.
