WORLD’S BESTSELLING SPANISH-LANGUAGE AUTHOR

“I’m not vulnerable because of the truth I tell, only because of the secrets I keep.”

With twenty-four (and counting) fiction and nonfiction books published, translations in more than forty-two languages, and more than seventy-five million copies sold, Isabel Allende is the bestselling Spanish-language author in the world. She also worked as a journalist at a feminist magazine, a TV host, and a school administrator before becoming an author at age thirty-nine.

Raised in Chile by a single mother and married at twenty to her first husband, Allende lived in exile in Venezuela for thirteen years—during which time she raised two children and wrote her debut novel, The House of the Spirits (1982). The manuscript began as a letter to her dying grandfather. The success of her first book opened a door for her and many more female writers to be published. Her often magical realist work would continue to break barriers for women, especially in Latin-American and Spanish-speaking cultures, by touching on themes of historical events, grief, social issues, politics, justice, and loyalty from a female perspective.

(On feminism) “You don’t like the word, don’t use it. Change it. It doesn’t matter. Just do the work.”
