CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE 2017
Agustina Bazterrica was born in Buenos Aires in 1974. She has a degree in Art from the University of Buenos Aires, works as a cultural administrator, and has served on the jury for literary competitions such as the Premio Fondo Nacional de las Artes.
She writes essays and fiction and has published one short story collection and three novels, including Tender Is the Flesh, which won the Clarín Novel Prize, was a finalist for the Goodreads Choice Awards, and was named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post and Vogue. Tender is the Flesh also became a worldwide bestseller, with more than 600,000 copies sold in the United States alone. Her work has been translated into more than 30 languages and has sold over one million copies worldwide.
«The literature of Agustina Bazterrica is a carnivorous plant. Reading her means facing rows of fangs, beautiful and surprising colors and, of course, a mouth designed to slowly gobble up everything that falls into it».
