Juan Nepomuceno Carlos Pérez Rulfo Vizcaíno, known professionally as Juan Rulfo, was born on May 16, 1917 in the town of Sayula in the state of Jalisco, located in the western part of central Mexico. Jalisco is a Nahuatl word that means “sandy plain” and this is precisely the hot, arid, imposing terrain where nearly all of Rulfo’s narratives are set. Rulfo spent a great deal of his childhood in the house of his paternal grandparents in San Gabriel. During this time he was granted access to the library of a priest who stored his books in his grandparents’ home. These texts were fundamental to his literary development.

Though a strike at the University of Guadalajara prevented him from enrolling, Rulfo was able to audit literature lectures in Mexico City. He later cofounded the literary journal Pan with mentor Efrén Hernández. He traveled extensively throughout the 30s and 40s, and eventually had stories published in Pan and another Mexican magazine. In 1948, Rulfo married Clara Angelina Aparicio Reyes and they had four children. A fellowship he earned in 1952 allowed him to wr

Sayula, Jalisco, México, 1917 - México, D.F , 1986

Juan Rulfo spent his childhood in an orphanage in Guadalajara. He later moved to Mexico City, where he worked as an auditor at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. A great scholar of the culture and history of his country, a keen traveller and photography fan, Juan Rulfo needed to write just two books to establish himself as one of the giants of Spanish literature. With the publication of his book of short stories El llano en llamas, he became one of the most distinguished names in Mexican contemporary literature. His only novel, Pedro Páramo, was published in 1955. He had worked on it for more than a decade before its publication, and the work fully consolidated his reputation as one of the most significant authors in universal literature. Hailed as a landmark in magic realism, the work of Juan Rulfo feeds off both traditional Hispanic American narrative and the main innovators in Western literature such as Joyce, Faulkner and Woolf.
