Notă biografică
As an author and scriptwriter for television, Claudia Piñeiro has won numerous national and international prizes, among them the renowned German LiBeraturpreis for Elena Knows and the prestigious Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for Las grietas de Jara (A crack in the wall). She is best known for her crime novels which are bestsellers in Argentina, Latin American and round the world. Many of her novels have been adapted for the big screen. According to the prestigious newspaper La Nación, Claudia Piñeiro is the third most translated Argentinean author, after Borges and Cortázar. More recently, Piñeiro has become a very active figure in the fight for the legalisation of abortion in Argentina and for the legal recognition of writers as workers. Her fiction (as shown with Elena Knows) is stemmed in the detective novel but has recently turned increasingly political and ideologically committed.
Frances Riddlelives in Buenos Aires, where she works as a translator, writer, and editor. She holds an MA in translation studies from the University of Buenos Aires and a BA in Spanish literature. Her book-length publications includeA Simple Storyby Leila Guerriero (New Directions, 2017);Bodies of Summerby Martín Felipe Castagnet (Dalkey Archive Press, 2017); andThe Life and Deaths of Ethel Jurado(Hispabooks, 2017). This is her fourth title for Charco Press afterSlum Virginby Gabriela Cabezón Cámara (2017),The German Roomby Carla Maliandi (2018) andTheatre of Warby Andrea Jeftanovic (2020).
