Roberto Bolaño

For most of his early adulthood, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and Spain. Bolaño moved to Europe in 1977, and finally made his way to Spain, where he married and settled on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona, working as a dishwasher, a campground custodian, bellhop and garbage collector — working during the day and writing at night.

He continued with his poetry, before shifting to fiction in his early forties. In an interview Bolaño stated that he made this decision because he felt responsible for the future financial well-being of his family, which he knew he could never secure from the earnings of a poet. This was confirmed by Jorge Herralde, who explained that Bolaño "aband

José Saramago

José de Sousa Saramago (16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese novelist and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his "parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [with which he] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality."

In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today."

Actualmente es el escritor colombiano de literatura no-ficción más leído en su país. Sus libros alcanzan tirajes que hoy sobrepasan un millón de libros acogidos por el público colombiano. La sólida credibilidad con que goza el autor sumada a la calidad literaria de su trabajo son parte del resultado.

Sus historias cortadas de la realidad son tejidas con base en investigaciones minuciosas y vivencias propias en los lugares donde acontecen los hechos.

Escribe utilizando la misma técnica de la novela en cuanto a estructura, manejo del tiempo dramático, equilibrio en los clímax y todos aquellos factores de la gran narrativa, pero rechaza crear situaciones ficticias.
