(Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, 1979) is one of the most renowned storytellers on the Latin American literary scene. Her work delves into the human dramas of everyday life, as well as the political and social spheres, through an intimate voice that fosters a connection with the reader, taking them from the most moving moments to laughter, always carefully crafting language, narrative rhythm, and the precise use of humor and irony. With La cabeza de mi padre— which has been translated into Dutch, English, Portuguese, and Arabic—, she became one of Mexico’s most widely read authors. Her novel Raíz que no desaparece recently won the Colima Fiction Prize and has already become a touchstone for discussing the tragedy of the disappeared in Mexico, opening a public dialogue, through fiction, with collectives from across the country and with her readers. She is the author of the books Cuentos de maldad (y uno que otro maldito), El niño que fuimos, Las noches habitadas and Damas de caza. She also writes scripts for documentaries, television series and audio series, and publishes opinion columns in national and international media outlets.
