Angel Bonomini

A contemporary of Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Silvina Ocampo, and Julio Cortazar, Ángel Bonomini remains one of the great untranslated writers of Argentine fiction. His masterpiece, The Novices of Lerna, was originally published in 1972, but Bonomini's meditations on identity, surveillance, and isolation remain eerily prescient. In his lifetime, Bonomini was the two-time recipient of the prestigious Premio Konex.
