Salvador Garmendia

Died in 2001

Salvador Garmendia was born on 11 June 1928 in Barquisimeto. An illness kept him away from school for three years, and he spent that time reading. At the end of the fifties he belonged to the Sardio group, which turned Venezuelan narrative away from regional themes, and he set his novels in Caracas, each in a different neighbourhood. He also wrote for radio and television, screenplays and serials. He received the national prize for literature in 1972 and died in Caracas on 13 May 2001.
