Author: Jorge Ledesma
Bio: Jorge Ledesma is Argentinean. He published "Cartas espantosas a mi maestro" in 1981, much more than his epistolary exchange with [Ernesto Sábato][1] and, according to Haydeé Jofre Barroso, "a revulsive book, without concessions, of solid structure". Later would come "El juicio de los animales", "Adiós al árbol", "Acuso al invasor"...

His work has been accompanied by tragically picturesque events, from the classification of an award-winning story of his as "pornographic" by the Franco government to the unique form of protest he chose in 1963, climbing naked into a streetlamp in the heart of Buenos Aires and ending up in a dungeon.

Ledesma is also the only living character in "Abadón the Exterminator," Ernesto Sábato's novel, in which he appears with a first name, last name and his own text. This irruption of fiction in his life has a parallel in his work, where raw reality is fictionalized; but, to the reader's distress... only very slightly.
