'Being a novelist is less important than living to be one.'In the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans’ bohemian French Quarter, six independent writers convene at La Tertulia, a sanctuary for creative minds yearning for literary recognition. Bound by their shared passion for writing, they inhabit an old house where they confront the harsh realities of an ever-evolving publishing industry. In this atmosphere of camaraderie and competition, literary aspirations intertwine with the complexities of human relationships. The novel 'We’ll Meet in Stockholm' pays homage to these courageous writers who strive to be heard in a world often indifferent to their talents. Laden with sarcasm, the title reflects the distant aspiration of winning the coveted Nobel Prize in Literature. For these writers, Stockholm embodies both an ironic utopia and a symbol of La Tertulia’s unyielding spirit.Through their intertwined stories, 'We’ll Meet in Stockholm' delves into the complexity of the creative process, friendship, and the sacrifices necessary to pursue a shared passion. It is an exhilarating journey through the heart of creativity, where hope and irony intertwine in the eternal quest for literary greatness.
