Maria Gabriela Llansol

    November 24, 1931 – March 3, 2008

    Maria Gabriela Llansol stands as a unique voice in contemporary fiction, characterized by an effervescent, unexpected, and original creativity. Her distinctive style and strong personality have been evident since her earliest narratives. Llansol's fiction masterfully blends enunciative subjectivity with a potent mythical inclination and lyrical engagement, founded upon a heterodox, sensualist, and naturalistic worldview. Her work is notable for its hybridity of registers and its temporal and spatial invocation of entities, all unified by a persistent and unmistakable discursive signature.
