Suso de Toro
Suso de Toro (Santiago de Compostela, in 1956). Writer. PhD in Geography and History at the University of Santiago de Compostela and in Modern and Contemporary Art. He has published a long list of narrative, theater and essay books. He soon received the recognition of the readers and the critics receiving in 1986 the Premi de la Crítica de narrativa gallega Award for Polaroid. A prize that will be revalidated in 1994 for Tic-tac and in 2000 for Non volvas. His full recognition as a writer will arrive in 2003 with the Premio Nacional de narrativa de las Letras Españolas Award for Trece badaladas. Among his more than twenty novels we could also include Ambulance, Seven Words or Somnánbulos, although the list could be much longer. Likewise, it is worth mentioning his essay and denouncing work as Nunca mais Galiza à intempèrie, Españois todos: As cartas sobre a mesa, Outra idea de España: Mar de fondo, Madera de Zapatero o La lliçó catalana. He regularly publishes in Galician, Catalan and Spanish and his works have been translated in several languages. He also oftenly writes for the media and he wrote tv and film screenplays.
In 2014 he was candidate for the 2014 European Parliament by Los Pueblos Deciden and that same year he received the Creu Sant Jordi, the highest honour from the Catalan Government , as well as the Joan B. Cendrós International Prize.
In April 2010, he announced his retirement as a professional writer, and resumed his career as a professor of Galician language and literature in high school.
Fortunately for the readers, he returned with the excellent novel Fóra de si (Out of Your Wits) and with a delightful personal text on writing and reading as it is Dentro da literatura (Inside Literature). And even more, we are in luck because his latest novel, Un señor elegante (An Elegant Man), has just been translated into Catalan and Spanish after 3 editions in Galician.
