Jaime Sáenz Book order
October 29, 1921 – August 16, 1986
En Sáenz's life and work are intertwined and mutually illuminating. He is remembered as a rebellious, alcoholic writer outside of social conventions, a central figure in Bolivian literature. His work presents an original and exceptional worldview, deeply influencing subsequent generations of artists, musicians, filmmakers, and videographers in Bolivia and Latin America. His nocturnal lifestyle and fascination with the irrational and esoteric, rather than politics, shaped his literary uniqueness and defied conventional labels.
