Marina Closs

Marina Closs grew up in a small town in the Misiones province of Argentina, an area steeped in the history that informs The Depopulation, her first novel to be published in English (forthcoming from Bellevue Literary Press in August 2026). She is the recipient of Argentina’s Fondo Nacional de las Artes Prize and Angélica Gorodischer Prize, and has also been shortlisted for Spain’s Finestres Prize and Ribera del Duero Prize. She lives in Santiago, Chile.
