ELVIRA SASTRE is one of the most influential femenine voices of the contemporary spanish literature. Her words come out direct and visceral, but the effect they have is that of a lullaby that invites us to question the reality that surrounds us. As sweet and generous as she is, Elvira connects with her readers thanks to her spontaneity.

There are few things she enjoys more than reading anything by Leila Guerreiro or Benjamín Prado with a vermut in her hand under the sun. “Baluarte”, “Days without you” and “Forty-three ways of letting your hair loose” are three of her most acclaimed books.

As a translator she has been in charge of bringing Lana del Rey and Rupi Kaur’s work closer to the spanish language and culture.
