Claudia Piñeiro

As an author and scriptwriter for television, Claudia Piñeiro has already won numerous national and international prizes, among them the renowned German Literaturpreis for Elena Knows and the prestigious Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for Las grietas de Jara (A Crack in the Wall). She is best known for her crime novels, which are bestsellers in Argentina, Latin America, and around the world. Many of her novels have been adapted for the big screen. According to the prestigious newspaper La Nación, Claudia Piñeiro is the third most translated Argentine author, after Borges and Cortázar. More recently, Piñeiro has become a very active figure in the fight for the legalisation of abortion in Argentina and for the legal recognition of writers as workers. Her fiction (as shown by Elena Knows) stems from the detective novel but has recently turned increasingly political.
