(Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1968). While practised in several different trades, – from selling car insurance on the street to graphic designer – the most relevant here are cultural journalism and teaching creative writing. She currently runs the Laboratorio de Experimentación de Artes de la Escritura at the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires. She has always been involved in activism and militancy, and today the plight that most preoccupies her is resistance to the Capitalocene: the struggle to protect all living things. Her novels and novellas include La Virgen Cabeza, Le viste la cara a dios, Romance de la Negra Rubia and Las aventuras de la China Iron. The English translation of the last mentioned, The Adventures of China Iron, was shortlisted for the 2020 International Booker Prize. The French translation was shortlisted for the 2021 Foreign Language Prix Medicis. Her work has been translated into English, French, Norwegian, Portuguese and Italian, and Turkish, Greek, Lithuanian, Slovenian and Croatian editions of her books are forthcoming.
