Carmen Posadas is a Uruguayan–Spanish writer, regarded by Newsweek as one of the most important Latin American authors of her generation.
Over the course of a long career, she has demonstrated extraordinary literary versatility, publishing more than thirty works spanning novels, essays, short stories, and children’s literature. Her stories are distinguished by the complexity of her characters and the sophistication of her plots—qualities that have established her as an undisputed reference in contemporary literature.
Her books have been translated into more than 20 languages and published in countries including Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, and Hungary, reaching thousands of readers worldwide. International critics have praised her unmistakable style:
“A perfect combination of Agatha Christie and Pedro Almodóvar… wonderfully entertaining and dark.” — Le Figaro
“It’s as if Carmen Posadas were introducing Jorge Luis Borges to Agatha Christie. The result is simply smart, sexy, and irresistible.” — John Banville
Her work has been celebrated by outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, which highlight her as one of the most distinctive voices in the Spanish-language literary landscape.
Throughout her career, she has received numerous national and international awards, including the Planeta Prize, the Ministry of Culture Award, the Apeles Mestres Prize, the Sent Soví Prize, the Community of Madrid Culture Award, the ABC Prize, the Cartagena Historical Novel Prize, the Glaukan Prize, the Brazier Prize, and the King of Spain Ibero-American Journalism Prize.
In academia, she serves as an advisor to the European University of Madrid, which established the Carmen Posadas Chair in her honor, and she has been named Honorary Professor by the Peruvian University of Applied Arts.
Her novels, noted for their strong visual and narrative power, have attracted the attention of the audiovisual world. Several are currently in development, and one has already been adapted for the screen: Invitation to a Murder, released on Netflix in 2023.
