Martín Caparrós, the best

Martín is a writter, but he writes as a journalist. He is a member of the New Journalism's tendency, born in 1960 in the United States. Básically, the journalist tryed to told the issues as a novel, using the style of the fiction to describe the reality.

Martín Caparrós was born in argentina in 1957, and he starded in the journalism at seventeen years old, in "Noticias" newspaper. Three years later, in 1976, he has sent to exile to Francia. He studied History in París, and later, he goes to Spain, the place he wrotes his first novel.

In 1991, he come back to Argentina, and he begin to write articles of travels. Then, he start to bacame famous, and he published his first book of journeys, called "Crónicas de fin de Siglo"

I knew his talent in 2006. My Fathers gitf his novel "Valfierno" to my sister, as a Chrismas gift. So, i took it, and i start to read it.

It was amazing, Cararrós told the story of a argentinian man who steal the Mona Lisa in 1911. The character has a problem of multiple personalities, one of them, is "Valfierno" a count obsessed in womans.

The novel is exciting, and it was a perfect excuse to keep reading Martín Caparrós’s books and articles. I’m not a fan, but I really like his narratives.
