José Ovejero

He has worked in a variety of genres, including poetry, drama, essays, short stories and novels.

[3] Ovejero believes that “literature allows us to deconstruct the apparent order of reality, and from there you can construct new orders or create different unities.” [4] He has won several major literary prizes, including the 2013 Premio Alfaguara for his novel La invención del amor,[5] translated into English as Inventing Love.

[6] In 2018, José Ovejero presented three of his stories in a one-man stage show under the title ¡Qúe raros son los hombres!
