Julián Ríos

Julián Ríos (born March 11, 1941, in Vigo, Galicia) is a Spanish writer, most frequently classified as a postmodernist,^[1] whom Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes has called "the most inventive and creative" of Spanish-language writers.^[2] His first two books were written à deux with Octavio Paz.

His best known work, experimental and heavily influenced by the verbal inventiveness of James Joyce,^[3] was published in 1983 under the title Larva.

Ríos lives and works in France, on the outskirts of Paris.
