Liberating Latin American Genre Fiction: In Conversation with Bestselling Author Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Join us as Moreno-Garcia chats with us about Latin American Genre fiction, her writing process and journey, as well as her newest book The Seventh Veil of Salome. The New York Times bestselling and award-winning writer Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s most recent novel, The Seventh Veil of Salome, is set in 1950s Hollywood. Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingénue, has just won a star-making role in a big budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times–Salome. Vera quickly becomes the talk of the town and an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, an actress whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Both actresses are determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal and intrigue. But this is the tale of three women, because it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod. Salome is a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. Before the curtain comes down, there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor saga. 

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow, Mexican Gothic, Velvet Was the Night, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and The Seventh Veil of Salome. She writes in a variety of genres including fantasy, horror, noir and historical. She has an MA in Science and Technology Studies from the University of British Columbia and lives in Vancouver.
