Utopian inspirations: Survey of Damages by Jose Pablo Salas

Utopia: Mr More's Wondrous Islands

Available for over a year

The second of five short programmes which mark 500 years since the publication of Utopia by Thomas More, a book that's never stopped challenging the established order. More's radical ideas about life and work have struck a chord with the young Mexican author Jose Pablo Salas in his short story Survey of Damages, written specially for Âé¶¹Éç World Service. The reader is William Marquez. José Pablo Salas (Mexico City, 1991) is a Mexican journalist and writer. He has collaborated with Mexican and Latin American media outlets such as Telesur, El Malpensante, and Milenio. He has an MA in English from the University of Exeter. In 2013 he was shortlisted for the first PEN International/New Voices Award.
