Career
Included in the 1990 neorealist generation of Spanish novelists, Bustelo made her debut with Veo Veo (Anagrama, 1996), a postmodern "cult" novelette. She shares with José Ángel Mañas, Ray Loriga and Lucía Etxebarria a crisp style visibly influenced by commercial culture — advertising, popular music, film and television Gabriela Bustelo is one of the few Spanish women who have written science fiction.
Louisiana historia de siempre jamás (El Andén, 2007) portrays the frivolity of European upper classes.
In 1996 she began to write in Spanish newspapers and magazines, having signed a political column for twenty years now. At present Bustelo is writing a weekly column for the Spanish digital newspaper "Vozpópuli" (vozpopulicom) and a weekly column in English for the digital newspaper "The Objective" (theobjectivecom).
She has been contributing to Colombian magazine "Arcadia" (revistaarcadiacom) for a decade, since 2005.
