Elena Poniatowska is a Mexican journalist and writer, the author of more than 40 books translated into more than 20 languages. She was born in Paris in 1932 to a Polish-French father and a Mexican mother, but she left France for Mexico, where she lives since then, when she was ten years old, to escape the Second World War.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poniatowska began writing for the Mexican newspaper Exc\u00e9lsior when she was 18, doing interviews and society columns, but later she evolved to writing about social and political issues in newspapers and books, highlighting the problems of the poor.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has written novels, journalistic essays, children\u2019s books and short stories. Her best known work is La noche de Tlatelolco (The night of Tlatelolco, the English translation was titled “Massacre in Mexico”), an account of the killing of student protesters in Mexico City by the security forces in 1968.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other titles by Elena Poniatowska published in English are Here’s to you, Jesusa! which portrays the life of a working class woman in early 20th century Mexico, and The Skin of the Sky, the fascinating story of the life of Lorenzo de Tena, a brilliant Mexican astronomer. This novel is based in the life of her late husband, the Mexican astronomer Guillermo Haro.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last November,<\/span> Elena Poniatowska won the Cervantes Prize<\/a>, the highest literary honour in the Spanish-speaking world for her “brilliant” literary career and her “exemplary” dedication to journalism, based on a “firm commitment to contemporary history,” as \u201cone of the most powerful voices in the Spanish-language literature of our times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These are all good reasons for making Elena Poniatowska our author of the month in January and February. Don\u2019t you think so? Her books are waiting for you in our library.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
