About the Author
Mayra Santos-Febres is a renowned Puerto Rican author, poet, and cultural critic whose work vividly captures the rhythms and realities of Caribbean life. Born in San Juan, she draws from her island's vibrant history, social complexities, and Afro-Caribbean heritage to craft narratives that blend sensuality, social commentary, and unflinching realism. A professor and founder of the International Festival of Literature in Puerto Rico, Santos-Febres explores themes of identity, marginalization, and desire in her prose, challenging conventional boundaries of genre and voice. Her acclaimed novels, including 'Cualquier miércoles soy tuya (Novela negra) / Any Wednesday I’m Yours (Noir) (Spanish Edition)' and 'Sirena Selena vestida de pena (Spanish Edition),' have earned her international recognition, cementing her status as a vital voice in contemporary Latin American literature.
