Jaime Collyer

Born in 1955, Collyer claims he discovered the joy of writing fiction as a child in school[3] at a young age.

"[4] Having finished his degree in 1980, Collyer moved to Madrid, Spain in 1981 to begin a writing career and to study International Relations and Political Science.

[6] Collyer has continued to publish works to much critical acclaim[7] and has won the Premio Municipal de Santiago for his short story collections,[8] amongst various other awards for his publications in general.

Amongst them are Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov as well as German post war writers such as Heinrich Böll and Günter Grass.

Undoubtedly an influence, Collyer was even dubbed "The New Borges" after the release of the collection Gente al acecho (People on the Prowl).
