Gothic horror, or ‘weird fiction’ with a twist, some punk thrown in, and laced with episodes from the history of her native Argentina, give us the works of renowned writer and journalist Mariana Enriquez, know as the Princess of Terror. Her novels also offer social commentary on issues such as the role of women, violence, and the never-fully-told story of her country’s dictatorship. In 2019, she won Anagrama’s Herralde Prize with her novel Nuestra parte de noche (Our Share of Night). In 2022, she was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the horror category for The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, going on to receive the 2024 José Donoso Ibero-American Literature Prize.
Enríquez will discuss her work and her many influences with Miquel Molina, writer and Deputy Editor of La Vanguardia.
