Gualberto Baña
Uruguay, 1945

I have always liked to write. Since I was a child I made up stories, created heroes who were beyond reality. They were born under the influence of the main characters in the works of Dumas, D’Amicis, Jules Verne or Zane Grey. Later, new books came and the heroes became real people in blood and flesh. Where I was born, you could not avoid reading Onetti and the great Latin American writers, such as García Márquez, Borges, Vargas Llosa, Benedetti, Bioy Casares, Lezama Lima, Rulfo, Cortázar and many others, as well as the great North American writers: Faulkner, Hemingway, Henry James…
I published my first novel not so long ago because before I had been too busy before, with a job that I really loved, since I was distributing in movie theatres all over the world the lives of other heroes, such as Indiana Jones or James Bond, but also the anonymous ones, people with dark and hard existences that one day discover that the soul weighs 21 grams or that the world will always be Babel.
A few months ago I left the direction of Universal Pictures in Spain and, although I am still very attached to the world of the cinema, I finished my second novel: Todas las huellas
