Julio Llamazares

Julio Llamazares.

Julio Llamazares (born 1955) is a Spanish author born in Vegamián, León Province.

He is a law graduate but left law to become a writer. His work encompasses multiple genres including novels, short stories, poetry, essays, travel writing, screenplays and journalism. He has had a regular column in El País since the early 1980s, and has been featured on radio and TV. His first works were two collections of poetry: La lentitud de los bueyes first published in 1979 and La memoría de la nieve in 1982. Luna de lobos ("Wolf moon") is his first novel, published in 1985 and recently translated into English (2017). His prose writing is characterised by a lyrical style and an intense interest in nature; Luna de lobos is essentially a novel of the land, where nature is almost the protagonist. This is something often found in pre-Boom Latin American literature.
