Norah Lange
Norah Lange was an Argentine writer, who was associated with the Buenos Aires avant garde of the 1920s and 1930s.
Life
A member of the Florida group, which also included figures such as Oliverio Girondo and Jorge Luis Borges, she published in the "ultraist" magazines Prisma, Proa, and Martín Fierro.Her ultra-modernist poetry influenced other well-known Argentine writers such as Nydia Lamarque, Maria Elena Walsh, Maria Dhialma Tiberti, and Ines Malinow.
Her 1950 novel Personas en la sala was published in English as People in the Room by the publisher "And Other Stories" in 2018.
In 1959, SADE awarded her their Grand Prize of Honor. This was the same award as Jorge Luis Borges had been given in 1944 but his work has remained more popular and in print. It has been proposed that she has been mistakenly seen as a muse and not as a leading author.
