Pablo Marola

Behind the name Pablo Marola stands someone who believes reality will always surpass fiction. A teacher by vocation, Argentine by origin, and a resident of Berlin by choice, he spent over two decades listening to the stories that teenagers rarely dare to tell out loud.

Felipe. A True Story is his debut novel — a realistic account built from lived experience, written to protect the privacy of those involved without sacrificing the emotional truth of what happened. Some names were changed. Nothing essential was.

When he is not writing, he enjoys silence and the work of authors who, like him, dare to tell what few are willing to say. Some stories don't ask permission to be told.
