Blas Parra
In every genre he writes in, Blas Parra (1948, Valencia) gives his readers daring adventures. The protagonists of his novels (seven to date) always have an ambitious plan to carry out in their lives, which plunges them into a personal adventure in which the search for a vocation or task becomes an epic one. Through the mishaps of this struggle, whether the setting is a modern democratic society or an oppressive dictatorship, conventional logic becomes absurd, myths crumble, and his visionary investigation becomes more coherent, rendering the reader both speechless and laughing.
Bono Bidari
Bono Bidari is swathed in mystery. Not surprising if you take into account that he doesn’t exist.
Boris Izaguirre
Boris Izaguirre (Caracas, 1965), a witty polemicist, has taken advantage of the platform offered by the media to promote his particular vision of the world; a perspective that mixes equal doses of rigour, creativity and sense of humor. With a passion for cinema, literature and architecture, he began his career in his native country by writing press articles and soap opera scripts, and in just a few years has become an important media figure. He is a regular collaborator in publications such as Zero, El País Semanal, Fotogramas and Marie Claire.
