Julián Ríos has been an editor and author since the 1970s. His first book "Solo a dos voces" was a collaboration with Mexican writer Octavio Paz, which saw print in 1973. Another collaboration with Paz was published the following year.
Ríos also founded the Espiral magazine and literary series for the publishing firm Editorial Fundamentos in 1974. He has also served on the editorial boards of magazines, including Formations, Culturas-Diario-16, and Syntaxis.
Ríos currently lives and works in France, on the outskirts of Paris.
Julián Ríos is among the most important post-modern authors in the Spanish language. He is famous in the literary world for his extreme love of word play; his books are filled with puns in many languages.
His best-known works are the novels "Larva: Midsummer Night’s Babel" and "Poundemonium". For the English-language version of "Larva" he received the Columbia University Translation Award in 1990.
Quotations: "A writer is not only a person who writes something but a person who doesn't write certain things. That is very important, because everybody has these great or fantastic ideas. We have to realize that a writer is someone who refuses to write some things."
