AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

I write to make me and my readers uncomfortable, because only in discomfort can we learn to see things differently, to question ourselves, to discover lights in the shadows and shadows in the lights.

My work encompasses narrative, poetry and essay. I started writing at eight years old and haven't stopped since.

I believe in the transformative power of words, but also in the constant tension between the language with which we encode the world, and the reality that refuses to be contained.

PUBLICATIONS

Amor y desamor. Lo bueno, lo malo. Deseos que omitimos, maneras de querer que no mencionamos y formas de entender el mundo que chocan con nuestra cotidianidad y el mal llamado «sentido común». Y, entretejido entre todo, la literatura como ventana para conocer, reconocer y —bien que mal— existir otro día más.

How does flattery work? Why do we consider it important to be individuals? Could our ignorance reveal more about us than our knowledge? On my Substack I explore what troubles me each week. I seek lucidity, no matter how momentary, in this chaotic symphony in which we live.

We detested the neighborhood because, apart from being cramped and old, opposite to the spaciousness and growth potential that new constructions boast, it kept in its houses and streets the memory of our families.

Winner of the Latin American Short Story Award "Edmundo Valadés" 2024.
