Miriam Beizana Vigo
Miriam Beizana Vigo is a Spanish writer and literary critic.
She was born in A Coruña and works in administration in the industrial sector, and has been writing since she was very young. Her first novel, Marafariña., partly autobiographical, tells the love story of Ruth, a young Jehovah's Witness, and Olga, a Catalan girl who arrives newly to the village where Ruth resides; the sequel, Inflorescence, was published three years later. Todas las horas mueren, is a short fiction novel based on a story begun by her mother. She has also written an essay about the pop singer Tino Casal.
Although her work often gives prominence to women, she rejects the label of lesbian novels since her books are not exclusive to LGTBI people. In the words of the author:
Among her influences are Fannie Flagg, Virginia Woolf, Carmen Laforet, Rosa Montero and Ana María Matute.
She collaborates in literary criticism on A Librería website, and writes articles on the LGTB visibility and dissemination portal Hay una lesbiana en mi sopa.
