Биографии авторов

Marilar Aleixandre

Marilar Aleixandre (María Pilar Jiménez Aleixandre) has a forked tongue, split between literature and research on argumentation and critical thinking; both are feminist. She has authored poetry, full of wild thicket (Desmentindo a primavera, Abecedario de árbores, or Desescribindo), and rebellious animals (Ovella descarreirada), which has received awards as the Esquío to Catálogo de velenos, and the Caixanova-PEN 2007 to Mudanzas, a feminist rewriting of the Metamorphoses, reprinted in Mudanzas e outros velenos (Shiftings and other poisons, Galaxia, 2017). Her poetry is translated in several collections. Her fiction has been extensively awarded: the Blanco Amor to As malas mulleres (Galaxia, 2021); the Álvaro Cunqueiro to A Compañía clandestina de contrapublicidade, or the Xerais to Teoría do caos; short stories collection, as Lobos nas illas (in Spanish Lobos en las islas, 2022; Arde) about complex family relationships, and O coitelo en novembro: beware of novelists, you never know who is the author, who the character. She is also author of young adult fiction about conflicts: A expedición do Pacífico (Galician Critics Award 1995), A cabeza de Medusa (in English Head of Medusa, Small Stations Press, 2019), about the social rape after the physical one awarded the Caixa Galicia and White Ravens, or the Raíña Lupa to A filla do minotauro (2018). Since 2017 she is a member of the Real Academia Galega. twitter @MarilarAleix; www.marilar.gal
