Selva Almada

Selva Almada is an Argentinian novelist, born in Villa Elisa, Argentina, in 1973. She is currently newsworthy due to the release of her latest novel, which is inspired by her childhood experiences. Specifically, the novel's genesis lies in her memories of visiting her grandfather's house in the countryside and encountering abandoned homes. As a child, she and her aunts would imagine the lives of the people who had previously lived in those houses, a practice that has now informed her writing. The articles highlight the personal connection between Almada's past and her present work, demonstrating the enduring influence of childhood memories on her creative process. The Fahrenheit 451 literary station also celebrated its first anniversary.
