Iosi Havilio (born in Buenos Aires, 1974) is an Argentine author.
His first novel, Opendoor was published in Buenos Aires in 2006. The novel tells the story of a young woman that, after losing her job in Buenos Aires, finds herself drifting towards a very different pace of life in the countryside.[1][2][3] Opendoor was highly praised by influential writers and critics like Rodolfo Fogwill and Beatriz Sarlo. Sarlo commented : ‘Opendoor really surprised me, it doesn’t obey any of the laws of reading, it feels like it sprang out of nowhere.’.[4] In 2009, Opendoor was published in Spain by Caballo de Troya and in 2011 was translated to English by the London-based publisher And Other Stories.
Havilio took part of the antology Buenos Aires/Escala 1:1 (Entropía, 2008) and the Spanish edition of La Joven Guardia (Belacqua, 2009). IN 2010, Havilio published his second work, Estocolmo. The main character of Estocolmo is a gay Chilean man returning to his home country from 30 years of exile in Sweden after the 1973 coup d'état.
