Jorge Eliécer Pardo

Jorge Eliécer Pardo was born in 1950 in Líbano, in Tolima, a region that the civil war of the fifties had hit hard and that provides the material for almost all his books. He studied Spanish and English at the University of Tolima, took a doctorate in literature, taught and worked in cultural journalism on public television. He published his first book at the age of twenty-three with his brother Carlos Orlando, also a writer. Eight novels, four story collections and a book of poems have followed, several of them translated, and the national literature prize has come.
