Eduardo Lalo (born 1960) is a Puerto Rican novelist, best known for his novel ''Simone'', which won the Romulo Gallegos Prize.〔(News )〕 ==Biography== Although born in Cuba, he has lived in San Juan, Puerto Rico, since the age of two. He studied at the Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola, where he graduated in 1977. He then went on to study at Columbia University and later at the University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle.〔(Eduardo Lalo. "Tengo la edad de Luis Fortuño" ), ''80 Grados'', 09.2012; accessed 07.07.2013.〕 Lalo's works are difficult to define generically. His books are hybrids of essay and fiction, as demonstrated in his first book, ''En el Burger King de la calle San Francisco'' (In the San Francisco Street Burger King), published in 1986. Since then he has insisted on mixing art, essay and fiction in his publications. As he has stated: "First of all, I'm a writer. I started to draw late, at age 21, when I had just finished studying in New York and visited museums and galleries. I went to live in Paris and without any training I requested admissions to a school of fine arts."〔(Enrique Planas. "Eduardo Lalo: Estaba leyendo en mi cama y luego me llamó todo el mundo" ), ''El Comercio'', 29.06.2013; accessed 07.07.2013.〕 His international recognition came in 2013, when he won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel ''Simone''. The same year, he led the Puerto Rican delegation to the XVIII International Book Fair in Lima, where Puerto Rico was the guest of honor.〔(Ernesto Carlín. "Eduardo Lalo inaugurará la Feria del Libro de Lima" ), ''El Peruano'', 14.06.2013; accessed 07.07.2013.〕 He is a professor at the Río Piedras campus of the University of Puerto Rico, and publishes columns of literary criticism is publications such as ''80 Grados''. He has directed two medium-length films: ''donde'' (Where) and ''La ciudad perdida'' (The Lost City). In addition, he has shown his work as a photographer in more than a dozen exhibits.〔("Eduardo Lalo, ganador del Rómulo Gallegos, escritor de la ciudad de San Juan" ), Agencia EFE reprinted in ''El Diario Vasco, 06.06.2013; accessed 07.07.2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eduardo Lalo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
