Marco Denevi
Marco Denevi (May 12, 1922 – December 12, 1998) was an Argentine author of novels, short stories, and plays, as well as a lawyer and journalist. His work is characterized by its originality and depth, as well as a criticism of human incompetence. His first work, a mystery novel titled ''Rosaura a las diez'' (1955), was a Kraft award winner and a bestseller. In 1964, it was translated into English as ''Rosa at Ten O'Clock''. Other famous works of his include ''Los expedientes'' (1957), ''El emperador de la China'' (1959), ''Ceremonia Secreta'' (1960), ''El cuarto de la noche'' (1962), and ''Falsificaciones'' (1966).''Ceremonia Secreta'' was filmed as ''Secret Ceremony'' in 1968 starring Elizabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow, Robert Mitchum, and Peggy Ashcroft. It was directed by Joseph Losey, with a screenplay written by George Tabori. In his edition of this and other Denevi works (Macmillan, 1965), Donald A. Yates mentions Denevi's admiration for Wilkie Collins, whose work this novella resembles.
He is less known as an essayist, but he also cultivated that genre with his ''República de Trapalanda'' (1989), a late work, where he took on Ezequiel Martínez Estrada and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's view of the Argentine republic.
He was born in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and at a young age he began playing the piano and reading. He graduated from college in 1939, and did not receive his law degree until 1956.
In 1987 he was inducted into the Argentine Academy of Letters.
It is important to note Denevi's desire to be a playwright. He wrote many dramatic pieces but felt he was not talented enough to write for the theater in Spain. Provided by Wikipedia
