From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horacio Castellanos Moya is among the leading contemporary Salvadoran novelists and short story writers.
He was born in 1957 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, though his family moved to El Salvador while he was only a few years old. He lived in San Salvador until 1979, and since has resided in Toronto, Canada, San José, Costa Rica, and Mexico City, working as a journalist and for the publisher EDUCA in Costa Rica. His works have been translated into several languages, including English and German, the latter owing largely to his novel El asco, which is written in tribute to Thomas Bernhard, in the style of the Austrian novelist. His first novel, La diáspora, which concerns the struggles of the exiles from the Salvadoran Civil War, won the Premio Nacional de la Novela, awarded by the Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas, in 1988.
