Silvina Ocampo
Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) was an Argentine poet, novelist, and short story writer, known for her enigmatic and often macabre literary style. Despite being overshadowed by her more famous sister, Victoria Ocampo, Silvina's work has gained recognition in recent years, particularly for its exploration of childhood, innocence, and cruelty. She was closely associated with prominent literary figures such as Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares, with whom she shared a deep intellectual friendship. Her writing, often characterized by a surreal and haunting quality, reflects her unique perspective on social class and the human condition.
