Luis Sepúlveda was born on 4 October 1949 at Ovalle inChile. At the early age of fifteen years he was already a member of the national communist youth organisation and began distributing his stories and poems at tradeunion meetings, strikes and political rallies. His first book of short stories, “Crónica de Pedro Nadie”, won the 1969 edition of the Casa de las Américas Award.

His commitment as a political activist led to his arrest during the coup. He was imprisoned and tortured, and in 1977 managed to go into exile. His first stop-off was in Ecuador, where he lived for a while with the local native population. He then moved to Paris and Hamburg. After spending some time in the Black Forest, he now lives in Gijón in Spain. In addition to his authorial activity, he also directs the Iberian-American Book Salon.

His books have been translated into more than fifteen different languages.
