About MartÍn Caparrós
MartÍn Caparrós was born in Buenos Aires and earned a degree in history in Paris, and worked as a journalist in print, radio, and television. He directed book and cooking magazines, translated Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Quevedo, and received the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Planeta and Herralde novel prizes, as well as the Tiziano Terzani, Roger Caillois, and Caballero Bonald essay awards. He also won the Rey de España, Moors Cabot, and Ortega y Gasset journalism prizes. He has published more than forty books in over thirty countries.

His most recent works include the novels Sinfín and Sarmiento, the essays Ñamérica and El mundo entonces, and a peculiar semi-posthumous memoir titled Antes que nada. In 2023, Random House launched the “Biblioteca Martín Caparrós,” reissuing most of his works, starting with about 15 previous titles.
