Juan Radrigán

Juan Radrigán Rojas exploró diversos géneros literarios como narrativa, poesía y ensayo. Sin embargo, a partir de 1979, con el estreno de su primera obra teatral, Testimonios de las muertes de Sabina, inició una nueva veta en su producción literaria: la dramaturgia. Entre sus obras más relevantes se cuenta Hechos consumados (1981), El toro por las astas (1982), Made in Chile (1984), El pueblo de mal amor (1986), La contienda humana (1988), El encuentramiento (1996) y Amores de cantina (2011).

Las obras teatrales de Juan Radrigán hablan de la marginalidad social, asociadas al contexto político, económico y cultural de la dictadura militar chilena. La crítica especializada ha comparado la obra de Radrigán con la dramaturgia de Samuel Beckett y

María Luisa Bombal

Maria Luisa Bombal was one of the first Spanish American novelists to break away from the realist tradition in fiction and to write in a highly individual and personal style, stressing irrational and subconscious themes. During the 1930s when most of her fellow writers were turning out works emphasizing social conflict, Bombal turned inwardly for her inspiration and produced several works of remarkable artistic quality. She incorporated the secret inner world of her women protagonists into the mainstream of her novels. In this respect she may be regarded as a precursor of the later Boom writers of the 1960s and 1970s in Latin America. And she accomplished this in a prose charged with poetic vibration, filled with a sense of imminent tragedy

Federico García Lorca

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.

Pedro Lemebel

Hijo de Pedro Mardones, panadero, y Violeta Lemebel, nació "literalmente en la orilla del Zanjón de la Aguada" y "vivió en medio del barro" hasta que, a mediados de los años sesenta, "su familia se mudó a un conjunto de viviendas sociales en avenida Departamental".
Estudió en un liceo industrial donde se enseñaba forja de metal y mueblería y, después, en la Universidad de Chile, donde se tituló de profesor de Artes Plásticas. Trabajó en dos liceos, de los cuales fue despedido en 1983 "presumiblemente por su apariencia, ya que no hacía mucho esfuerzo por disimular su homosexualidad".
En sus libros aborda fundamentalmente la marginalidad chilena con algunas referencias autobiográficas. Su estilo irreverente, barroco y kitsch lo ha hecho conocid

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
