Julián Ríos
Julián Ríos (born 11 March 1941, in Vigo, Galicia) is a Spanish writer, most frequently classified as a postmodernist,[1] whom Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes has called "the most inventive and creative" of Spanish-language writers.[2] His first two books were co-written with Octavio Paz.
His best known work, experimental and heavily influenced by the verbal inventiveness of James Joyce,[3] was published in 1983 under the title Larva.
Personal life
