Tomás González (Medellín, Colombia, 1950) studied philosophy before becoming a barman in a Bogotá nightclub, whose owner published Primero estaba el mar [In the Beginning Was the Sea], his first novel, in 1983. González has lived in Miami and New York, where he wrote much of his work while making a living as a translator. After twenty years in the US, he returned to Colombia, where he now lives. His books have been translated into six languages. His books Temporal [The Storm], La luz difícil, Niebla al mediodía, El lejano amor de los extraños, and Abraham entre bandidos were published in Spanish by Alfaguara.
