Fernando Sorrentino
"Calegüinas"
Fernando Sorrentino, born in Buenos Aires on November 8, 1942,
is a renowned professor of Language and Literature. His stories seamlessly blend reality with fantasy, often leaving readers unable to distinguish between the two. Starting from everyday situations, his narratives gradually become bizarre and unsettling, all while maintaining a surprising sense of humor. Since 1969, he has published around ninety books, including short stories, novels, essays, interviews, and anthologies, with many translated into various European and Asian languages. Notable works include El crimen de san Alberto, El forajido sentimental (essays on Borges), and interviews compiled in Siete conversaciones con Jorge Luis Borges and Siete conversaciones con Adolfo Bioy Casares,
published by Editorial Losada in Buenos Aires.
