Lucía Etxebarría

Etxebarría's double win of the Nadal and Planeta prizes is a rare feat in Spanish literature, marking her as one of the country's most celebrated contemporary novelists. Her work has been translated into over a dozen languages, and she has built a loyal readership across Europe and Latin America. Beyond fiction, her contributions as a screenwriter and cultural commentator have kept her at the forefront of Spanish intellectual life.
