Douglas Grant MineDouglas Grant Mine was a foreign correspondent and news editor for a long time. He reported from South and Central America for The Associated Press for more than a decade, and was a senior editor for Spain's national news agency EFE in Miami for a siilar stretch. He complemented desk work there with long-form feature writing, in English and Spanish, for Miami New Times, Revista Gatopardo (a pan-LatAm Vanity Fair-type mag), and other publications. His first novel CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD, an Argentine story that Bob Shacochis called "a powerful contribution to the literature of political experience," was published by Simon&Schuster in 1988. Mine's wave-making investigative piece El Hombre de la Caravana de la Muerte was included in the "best-of Gatopardo" book UN MUNDO MUY RARO (Editora Aguilar, Bogotá, 2001) along with stories by Carlos Fuentes and Antonio Tabucchi. In the new millennium, after moving to Italy with his Italian wife Nicoletta and their four sons, he has continued writing fiction and non-fiction appearing in the Delacorte Review, Atticus Review, i-Italy, and other venues.
