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

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
