It happened in a small hamlet in the Murcia countryside. No one ever knew why. The investigation was closed, and the crime forgotten.20 years later, when the wounds seem to have stopped bleeding and the mourning died down, Miguel decides to return to the countryside and, putting himself in the shoes of a detective, tries to reconstruct that tragic night that marked the end of his adolescence. But travelling in time always means altering the past, and the investigation will awaken ghosts that he thought he had left behind: a childhood marked by the Church, by sin and guilt; the constant presence of illness and death; the oppressive, closed world from which he managed to escape.This raw, moving novel about the collision of two worlds and two ways of life is a reckoning with the past and, above all, a subtle and incisive meditation on the ethics of literature, which makes us aware that “writing isn’t always a triumph, that sometimes, we too may founder upon the pain of others.”Miguel Ángel Hernández is a Spanish writer best known for his works of fiction, among them the novels Intento de escapada (2013), which won the Premio Ciudad Alcalá de Narrativa and was translated into five languages, El instante de peligro (2015), which was a finalist for the Premio Herralde de Novela, and El dolor de los demás (2018), which was selected as a book of the year by El País and the New York Times en Español. Hernández teaches art history at the University of Murcia and has authored several books on art and visual culture. His novel Anoxia was published by Other Press in 2025.Sarah Weinman is the author of Scoundrel , The Real Lolita , and most recently, Without Consent. She is the editor of Evidence of Things Seen: True Crime in an Era of Reckoning. She was a 2020 National Magazine Award finalist for reporting and a Calderwood Journalism Fellow at MacDowell, and her work has appeared in Vanity Fair, the Atlantic, Esquire, and New York magazine. Weinman is the Crime & Mystery columnist for the New York Times Book Review and lives in New York City. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-miguel-Ángel-hernández-the-pain-of-others-w-sarah-weinman/100001984641397846 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness, meditation, magic-show - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10.89, max: 20.68, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Books Are Magic Montague - **lat**: 40.6945995 - **long**: -73.994642 - **full address**: Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In-Store: Miguel Ángel Hernández: The Pain of Others w/ Sarah Weinman - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/88e0387ef3991b7dd84337e4fe7522a182ab122c7aa1cee214cfe1a5be2e5a4b-rimg-w1200-h600-dca54d1f-gmir.jpg?v=1772879231 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In-Store: Miguel Ángel Hernández: The Pain of Others w/ Sarah Weinman being held? - **A:** In-Store: Miguel Ángel Hernández: The Pain of Others w/ Sarah Weinman takes place on Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for In-Store: Miguel Ángel Hernández: The Pain of Others w/ Sarah Weinman? - **A:** Ticket prices for In-Store: Miguel Ángel Hernández: The Pain of Others w/ Sarah Weinman range from USD 11 to USD 21 depending on the ticket type.
