Hugo Mujica

Hugo Mujica (born 30 August 1942) is an Argentine Catholic priest, poet, writer, and former Trappist monk.

There he began to study philosophy at the experimental Free University of New York, and resumed painting at School of Visual Arts.

He spent a year in solitude in a countryside located in General Alvear, where he wrote his biography only to put it in the trash.

After a few years of officiating at a parish, he left momentarily his priestly vocation and turned to writing in its entirety, along with lecturing abroad and engaging in poetic festivals.

He participated in a TV debate with Gilles Lipovetsky, along with Juan José Sebreli, criticizing the complacency of the French philosopher regarding market economy.
