Pablo Montoya in 2016

He is currently a professor of literature at University of Antioquia. He has also been a visiting professor at the universities of Mar del Plata and the University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle. In his work, he talks about history, music, travel, eroticism, the fine arts with the situation of exile and violence of contemporary man. Always close to poetry, his writing carefully handles language. His books present a moving battle between misery and irony, erudition and hopelessness. His novels, short stories and critical texts have been featured in numerous Colombian and foreign publications. His translations of French and African writers have also been published in different magazines and newspapers in Latin America and Europe.
