Adolfo Bioy Casares

Adolfo Bioy Casares.

Nació el 15/IX/1914 en Buenos Aires (Argentina) y murió también allí el 8/III/1999.

A los once años escribe su primera novela, Iris y Margarita –plagiando a"Petit Bob" de Gyp–, para una prima de la que estaba perdidamente enamorado. A los catorce, Vanidad o Una aventura terrorífica, cuento fantástico y policial. En 1932 conoce, en casa de Victoria Ocampo, a quien será su amigo y colaborador: Jorge Luis Borges y, dos años más tarde, a Silvina Ocampo, quien junto a Borges lo convencerá de abandonar los estudios y dedicarse exclusivamente a escribir, y con quien se casará en 1940. Ese mismo año publica La Invención de Morel, su obra más famosa y convertida hoy en un clásico de la literatura contemporánea.

Bioy Casares y Jorge Luis Borges forman por años un formidable duo creativo que produce obras como “Un modelo para la muerte”, “Libro del Cielo y del Infierno” y las “Crónicas de Bustos Domecq”, la mayoría de cuales son firmadas con el seudónimo común de H. Bustos Domecq.

En 1954, cuando publica “El sueño de los héroes”, nace su única hija, Marta. En 1969 aparece “Diario de la guerra del cerdo”, llevada posteriormente al cine por Leopoldo Torre Nilsson.

Entre otros premios y galardones, recibe en 1975 el Gran Premio de Honor de la SADE, es nombrado Miembro de la Legión de Honor de Francia en 1981, Ciudadano Ilustre de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires en 1986 y es galardonado en 1990 con el Premio Cervantes.

Considerado por Jorge Luis Borges como uno de los mayores escritores argentinos de ficción, Bioy Casares es dueño de una vasta obra en donde la la fantasía y la realidad se superponen con una armonía magistral. La impecable construcción de sus relatos es, quizá, la característica que con mayor frecuencia ha destacado la crítica con respecto a su obra.
