As author
Jorge Barón Biza
Jorge Baron Biza (1942-2001) was a journalist and professor, who also worked for various Argentinian publishing houses. His family’s tragic lives are documented in several books, including The Desert and Its Seed.
The Desert and Its Seed chronicles the aftermath of an attack identical to the one that Baron Biza’s father perpetrated against his mother. Baron Biza maintains [a] mixture of unflinching scrutiny and cool lyricism through the novel. It feels strikingly of the moment, as a resurgent feminist movement draws attention to the wide scope of misogyny.
