About the Author
Born in Buenos Aires in 1974, Iosi Havilio is creating waves in and beyond Argentina. His work has been praised by top Argentine writers and critics including Rodolfo Fogwill and Beatriz Sarlo. Open Door, Havilio’s first novel, has been translated into English and Italian. His second novel is Estocolmo (Stockholm) and his third is Paradises. All three are now published in both Argentina and Spain. Drawing comparisons with writers as diverse as Camus and Houellebecq, critics agree only that Havilio has one of the most unique voices in literature today.
