Eugenia Rico

Life

Coming from a poor family she won her first literary award at the age of five. She studied Law and International Relations in Oviedo, Toulouse and Brussels but gave up everything to dedicate herself to literature. She traveled through the whole world, including India, South America, China and Africa.

She started writing and, after a difficult period in which she even sold flowers in the street, she worked in the reconversion of mining communities. Her first novel "Sad Lovers" was a great success winning her wide recognition. Afterwards she published "The White Death" (dealing with the loss of his little brother).

She contributes to El País, El Mundo, La Revista de occidente, La Nouvelle Revue Francaise and Der Spiegel. She has been the first Spaniard selected as a resident in the prestigious International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.

gollark: I really wonder who thought it was a good and useful idea to make a website where you could share your pronouns and follow other people's pronouns or whatever.
gollark: No.
gollark: Only if you avoid any fancy SPAs, probably.
gollark: For a while the code was so terrible that you could arbitrarily edit other people's accounts.
gollark: This reminded me somehow of this weird website where you share your pronouns or whatever which some people on the esolangs discord found a while ago: https://pronouny.xyz/u/osmarks
