Gloria Guardia
Biography
Gloria Guardia was born in Venezuela in 1940. Her father was a Panamanian engineer and her mother was the daughter of Nicaraguan hero Benjamín Zeledón. Her father travelled a lot for his work so she spent much time in the United States and Europe. She graduated from Vassar College in history in 1962 and then, after studying in Madrid, took a Master’s in comparative literature from Columbia University. She completed the requirements for a Ph. D., except for the residency requirements. Her first novel was published when she was only twenty and won an award in Spain. She has gone on to write novels, essays, short stories and critical studies as well as writing numerous articles for newspapers and magazines. She founded the Panama chapter of PEN International and was very much involved in the main organisation.
