Autorenporträt

AURORA VENTURINI was born in 1921 in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In 1948, Jorge Luis Borges awarded her the Premio Iniciación for her book El Solitario. Persecuted for her political ideas, she had to go into exile in Paris, where she interacted with personalities of French existentialism and Violette Leduc in particular. She wrote more than thirty books. In 2007, she received the Página/12 New Novel Award for Cousins. She died in 2015, in Buenos Aires, at the age of ninety-four. KIT MAUDE is a literary translator based in Buenos Aires.
