A Chilean writer, born in Santiago in 1931. He studied Law at the University of Chile. A diplomat since 1957, he was responsible for opening the Chilean Embassy in Havana. When he was ambassador to UNESCO he received a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres medal from the French government. In 1994 he received the National Literature Award. In April 2000 he picked up the prestigious 1999 Cervantes Award at the same time as the Chilean Ministry of Education awarded him the Gabriela Mistral Order of Merit. He began to write in 1952 but he didn't become successful until he published his sixth book "Persona Non Grata" (1973) which made him a popular writer although he was very controversial for both the Right and the Left in Chile. At the same time as "Persona Non Grata" was published he abandoned his diplomatic career after the triumph of General Pinochet's military coup that forced him to go into exile in Spain. Since then he has published another 10 books, including "Adiós, poeta" (1990) in which he recalls his friendship with the poet Pablo Neruda. His latest novel, "El sueño de la historia", describes his family's life during General Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship.
