Marta Sanz is an award-winning novelist, poet, essayist, and scholar, and one of Spain's most celebrated contemporary writers. With a literary career spanning more than two decades, she has published fifteen novels and essay collections, inluding Los mejores tiempos (Debate, 2001), winner of the Ojo Crítico Prize for Fiction; Animales domésticos (Destino, 2003); and Susana y los viejos (Destino, 2006), which was a finalist for the 2006 Nadal Prize. Her recent works include Farándula (2015); Círculo de lectores (2016), winner of the Herralde Prize for the Novel; Clavícula (2017); and Pequeñas mujeres rojas (2020), a crime novel that appeals to collective memory, all published by Anagrama.
