About the Author

Daniel Saldaña París is a Mexican writer, translator, and cultural critic whose work delves into the intricacies of family dynamics, identity, and the surreal undercurrents of everyday life. Born in Mexico City in 1980, he studied literature at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and has since become a prominent voice in contemporary Latin American fiction. His debut novel, Among Strange Victims, earned critical acclaim for its introspective narrative and philosophical depth, exploring themes of alienation and self-discovery. Saldaña París's writing often blends personal memoir with fictional elements, as seen in Los nombres de mi padre (Spanish Edition), a poignant reflection on paternal legacy and loss. A contributor to outlets like The New York Times and Granta, he continues to influence readers with his nuanced portrayals of human vulnerability and cultural displacement.
