View Author's Page

He was born and died in Buenos Aires. He practiced all literary genres with equal brilliance: he is undoubtedly one of the masters of Latin American short stories, his novels are dazzling, his plays revitalized the Argentine scene in the sixties and the same can be said about the three magazines he directed: El Grillo de Papel, El Escarabajo de Oro and El Ornitorrinco. He wrote the following books: Las otras puertas (short stories, 1961), El otro Judas (theater, 1961), Israfel (theater, 1964), Cuentos crueles (short stories, 1966), La casa de ceniza (novel, 1968), Sobre las piedras de Jericó (theater, 1968), Las panteras y el templo (short stories, 1976), El señor Brecht en el Salón Dorado (theater, 1982), El que tiene sed (novel, 1985), Las palabras y los días (essays, 1989), Crónica de un iniciado (novel, 1991), Las maquinarias de la noche (short stories, 1992), Ser escritor (essay, 1997), El oficio de mentir (interview, 1998), El Evangelio según Van Hutten (novel, 1999), El espejo que tiembla (short stories, 2005), Desconsideraciones (essays, 2010) and the monumental two volumes of his Diaries (2014 and 2019). His books have been translated into fourteen languages.
