(Uruguay, 2000)
I was born in the city of Minas, in the mountains of Uruguay, in the year 2000. I grew up between my house and my grandparents' houses. When I learned to read and write, about the age of six, I started to imagine better. I wrote down my first stories at that time. I used to read them to my sister. At the age of fifteen I moved to the countryside, in Aiguá, a city in the Department of Maldonado. Chester, Mimi, Diana and Linda live there, happy dogs. I am a student of the Bachelor of Arts of the Faculty of Humanities and Educational Sciences in Montevideo.
I am the author of the book of short stories Desastres naturales, my debut feature, published last year by Estuario editora, in Uruguay. This short story won two Bartolomé Hidalgo awards for Narrative and Revelation. That book took me to places I had never been before, and brought me closer to other authors I admire. Many joys. I also wrote Temporada de ballenas, a novel that was published in Uruguay last September and received an honorable mention in the Juan Carlos Onetti literary contest. This year, the Mexican publishing house Paraíso Perdido published Desastres naturales, and that is a reason for immense emotion. I've only been to Mexico twice, and I love it more and more.
