Fernando Iwasaki (Lima, 1961) is the author of two novels and seven short story collections, some of them translated into French, Italian, English, Russian, Korean, Czech, and Romanian. In 2014, Blood Bound Books released Grave Goods, a book of short-short stories translated by Steve Stewart—the original is now in its eighth edition in Spain. Iwasaki is professor at two Spanish universities and writes for various newspapers in Spain, Chile, and Mexico; but in reality, he lives in Andalucia thanks to the Flamenco.
