Félix Bruzzone


Félix Bruzzone is an Argentinian writer.

Life and work

Bruzzone studied literature at the University of Buenos Aires. He was named one of the ten most important authors of the decade by Clarín, the largest newspaper in Argentina. His books deal with the Argentine military dictatorship of the 1970s and 1980s and the victims of this era. Bruzzone's parents were among those, the so-called "disappeared", his father having been arrested three months before his birth, and his mother abducted a few months later. Their further fate remains unresolved. Bruzzone grew up in the care of his grandmother.
