Ariana Harwicz

Ariana Harwicz is one of the most radical figures in contemporary Argentinian literature. Her prose is characterised by its violence, eroticism, irony and criticism of the clichés surrounding notions of the family and conventionalrelationships. Born in Buenos Aires in 1977, Harwicz studied screenwriting and drama in Argentina, and earned a degree in Performing Arts from the University of Paris VII as well as a Masters in comparative literature from the Sorbonne. She has taught screenwriting and written plays. Her ‘involuntary’ trilogy of books published by Charco Press comprises Die, My Love (2017), Feebleminded (2019) and Tender (2021). Die, My Love was longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize (2018) and shortlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize (2018), and has been translated into more than ten languages. In 2025 Die My Love is being released as a major feature film directed by Lynne Ramsay and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.
