Rita Indiana was born in Santo Domingo in 1977 and lives in Puerto Rico. A key figure in current Caribbean literature, his second novel, Papi (Periférica, 2011), has become a cult text since its first lines were made public: «Flow literature, syncopated reading, phrasing of street poetry, cadence of amphetamine meringue and a strange taste of beat poetry sifted by the filter of magical realism »(Xavi Sancho, El País); «Rita Indiana builds in Papi a narrative building with the cadence of the merengue and the gaze of a lonely girl who could be a cross between One Hundred Years of Solitude and Misery, and that ends up being a pop novel, since it honors popular culture, but not only Latin American but also North American »(Laura Fernández, El Mundo). Subsequently, her novels Names and Animals (Periférica, 2013) and, above all, La mucama de Omicunlé (Periférica, 2015; Caribbean Writers Association Award, 2017) established her as one of the most important Latin American writers of the present.
