Gabriel Casaccia

Died in 1980

Gabriel Casaccia was born in Asunción on 20 April 1907, to Italian parents, and spent part of his childhood in Areguá. A law graduate, he served as an auditor during the Chaco War, then left Paraguay in 1935 for Posadas, in Argentina, where he lived for seventeen years. His work, about ten books of novels and short stories, features dreamy antiheroes, and was often poorly received in his own country. He died in Buenos Aires on 24 November 1980.
