SOR JUANA INÉS DE LA CRUZ PRIZE 1994
FINALIST PLANETA PRIZE 2001
Marcela Serrano has a degree in Engraving from the Universidad Católica and between 1967 and 1983 worked in different fields of the visual arts, especially art installations (such as body art).
Her novels have been published with great success in Latin America and Europe, have been translated into different languages and several of them have been made into films. A committed feminist and political activist, her works explore gender issues and political debates. Described by the critics as one of the most interesting voices in Latin America, she regularly speaks out against the difficulties faced by women all across the world.
“Serrano’s work is full with phantasmagoric descriptions and suffused with the lush lyricism that distinguishes the work of Carlos Fuentes and Isabel Allende.”
Publishers Weekly
“Her novels are shrewd and lucidly feminine.
Reading Marcela Serrano is like peering into the eyes
of all the women in the world.”
Arturo Pérez-Reverte
“Marcela Serrano is Sherezade’s heir…
Thanks to writers like Marcela life will never have the final word.”
Carlos Fuentes
