José Edmundo Paz-Soldán Ávila (Cochabamba, 29 March ) is a Bolivian writer.[1] His work is a prominent example of the Latin American literary movement known as McOndo, in which the magical realism of previous Latin American authors is supplanted by modern realism, often with a technological focus.[2][3][4] His work has won several awards.[1][5] He has lived in the United States since ,[6] and has taught literature at Cornell University since [6][7]

Career

Some early pieces were published while he was still at high school.[8] However, he started writing seriously at age 19 when he was in Buenos Aires, studying International Relations.[9][10] He transferred to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, receiving a footballscholarship.[8] A year before graduating, his first collection of short stories, Las máscaras de la nada, was published in Cochabamba.[5][11]

He has resided in the United States since [6] He graduated B.A.

in political science in [7] His first novel, Días de papel was a finalist in the Letras de Oro literary competition for United States works.[citation needed] The novel won the Erich Guttentag Prize,[1] and was published in [citation needed]

He obtained an M.A.

in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in , and a PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in , both at University of California, Berkeley.[7][12] His PhD thesis was on the life and works of Alcides Arguedas; stemming from this research, a biography was published in [8] He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in [5]

Río fugitivo () is at one and the same time a Bildungsroman, a detective mystery novel, and a historico-political novel about Bolivia.[11][12][13]

Two of his novels have been translated into English.[14]La materia del deseo ()[15] was published in English () as The Matter of Desire,[3] and El delirio de Turing was published in English as Turing's Delirium in [4][16] In Turing’s Delirium, Paz Soldán rewrote entire sequences directly in English for the translated edition, and changed the fundamental motivation of one of the characters; a subsequent Spanish version from Argentina incorporated these changes, but the widely circulated edition is the previous edition from Spain.[14]

In , he became the first Bolivian to be published by Gallimard.[8] In , he chaired the jury committee for the first Premio de las Américas for the best work published in Spanish in [17]

Norte, published in , depicts three experiences of Latin American immigration to the US over an year span.[18][19]Billie Ruth was published in [20]

His first science fiction novel, Iris, published in , was inspired by an article in Rolling Stone magazine about psychopathic soldiers in Afghanistan.

The book was originally conceived as the last in a trilogy with Los vivos y los muertos () and continued with Norte (); he had not initially intended it to be science fiction.[6][10][21]

He is cultural and political columnist for several newspapers and magazines: La Tercera, El País, The New York Times, Time and Etiqueta Negra.[citation needed] He has translated some English works to Spanish, including Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare and The Seller of Dreams by Ernesto Quiñonez, a US author from Ecuador.[citation needed] His own works have been translated into several languages and have appeared in anthologies in Europe and America.[citation needed] He teaches Latin American Literature at Cornell University.[7]

Reviewers have identified in his work a prominent example of the Latin American literary movement known as McOndo, which replaces the magical realism of previous Latin American authors with a technological, modernistic realism.[2][3][4] According to Mario Vargas Llosa, he is one of the most original among the new generation of Latin American authors.[22]

Distopia y literatura fantastica son envueltas por el denso follaje de la selva ese fragil titan en vias de desaparicion para llevar al extremo las mentes de seres que deambulan por este mundo con sus heridas abiertas, en carne viva. De todo ello va dando cuenta Roby, el narrador de la novela: aprendiz de escritor y cronista oficial del curso, autor de novelitas policiacas y fanzines subversivos que circulan de mano en mano.
