Raúl Argemí (1946–present) is an Argentinean writer, resident of Buenos Aires, after 12 years living in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Born in La Plata, capital of the Buenos Aires province, Argentina, Raúl Argemí had begun working early in his life in the scenic arts as an author and theatre director.
During his stay in the city of Buenos Aires he held the position of Chief of Culture, and Director of Claves magazine, and he also collaborated in the Southern Cone edition of Le monde diplomatique.
The landscape's strong character in this southerly region of the world entrapped him: the majority of his novels have the Patagonia as a backdrop.
In 2000 he moved to Spain, country in which his career in the written arts made a significant jump, and his novels started to be published frequently, many of which had been the result of long years of work during his life in Patagonia.
