ABOUT
ABOUT ME
I'm a playwright and novelist, with an MFA from the Michener Center for Writers at UT Austin. I'm Argentine-American and live in Argentina.
I am not a photographer based in Barcelona, but I think that lady's got great taste in URLs.
You're probably here either because of my essay in Modern Love or my novel, The Shamshine Blind.
WHAT I'VE DONE
My first novel, The Shamshine Blind, was published by Atria Books in 2023. It made best-of-the-year lists at Library Journal, Crimereads, and The San Francisco Chronicle.
My plays have been performed in Argentina, Colombia, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Colorado, and Connecticut. I've collaborated extensively with the TEAM and BootStrap Theater Foundation. I had a Fulbright in Buenos Aires in 2012.
Enrique Lozano and I are the Grande/Bravo translation team.
NEWS
The Shamshine Blind is part of the shortlist of The 2024 Tournament of Books. If you've always wanted a shirt with an artistic rendering of the cover (along with 15 other beautiful reads): behold, your wait is over!
