Enrique Serna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enrique Serna (b. 1959 in Ciudad de México) is a Mexican author and screenwriter. He is the author of two collections of short stories, the first one, Amores de segunda mano (Second hand loves) being a true milestone as one of the best books published in Mexico within this genre in the last two decades.
His third novel, El miedo a los animales (Fear of animals), is a crime thriller which declares that the Mexican literary establishment is even more corrupt than organised crime, in which police plays the dirtiest role. Which of course, made the literay establishment very happy, and gave him a wide array of attention.
Recently he has shifted the scope of his writing from the black humor and irony that characterised him, to historical novels of compelling readability.
In 2005, Serna was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for his story "Eufemia."
