Index on Censorship magazine was at Hay Festival in Wales at the end of May. We spoke to three leading authors – David Olusoga, Juan Gabriel Vásquez and Javier Cercas – about taboos in their own countries, the issues that people are not talking enough about and the stories that might be currently manipulated.
