John Banville Biografía y Hechos

John Banville (Wexford, Irlanda, 8 de diciembre de 1945) es un novelista irlandés, ganador del Premio Booker en 2005. Las obras que publica del género de novela negra las firma bajo el pseudónimo de Benjamin Black. Biografía Desde muy joven —12 años— supo que quería ser escritor. Estudió en una escuela de los Hermanos Cristianos y en el colegio católico de San Pedro de Wexford.[1]​ En lugar de ingresar en la universidad, prefirió comenzar a trabajar y lo hizo en la compañía aérea Aer Lingus, que le permitía viajar por el mundo. Más tarde diría irónicamente de esta decisión: "Un gran error. Debería haber ido [a la universidad]. Lamento no haber tomado esos cuatro años de emborracharse y enamorarse. Pero quería irme de mi familia. Quería ser libre".[2]​ Cuando regresó a Irlanda después de haber vivido en Estados Unidos en 1968 y 1969, se convirtió en periodista y entró a trabajar en el diario The Irish Press, donde llegó a ser subeditor jefe. Cuando este periódico desapareció en 1995, pasó al The Irish Times. Es colaborador habitual de The New York Review of Books. Publicó su primer libro en 1970, una recopilación de relatos titulada Long Lankin, a la que seguiría una serie de novelas, la primera de ellas Nightspawn que salió al año siguiente. Después vinieron Birchwood (1973), la llamada Trilogía de las revoluciones —compuesta por Copérnico (1976), Kepler (1981) y La carta de Newton (1982)— y cerca de una docena de novelas más, entre las que destacan El libro de las pruebas (1989), finalista del Premio Booker) y El mar (2005), que ganó el preciado galardón. Banville es conocido por el estilo preciso de su prosa. Su ingenio y su humor negro muestran la influencia de Nabokov. En 2006 aparece el primer libro de Benjamin Black: El secreto de Christine, a la que le han seguido otras muchas novelas negras. Sobre su desdoblamiento como escritor, ha dicho: "El arte es una cosa extraña. Bajo el sombrero de Banville puedo escribir 200 palabras al día. Un día decidí que podía convertirme en otro y bajo ese segundo sombrero, en esa segunda piel, puedo irme a comer tras haber escrito un millar de palabras, tal vez 2.000, y disfrutar con ello. Es increíble descubrir cómo otro tipo puede vivir tu vida y usar tus manos y deleitarse con eso. Escribir es un trabajo peculiar... Escribir es como respirar. Lo hago por necesidad. Por mi propia boca, y ahora también por la de Black".[3]​ Obras Novelas como John Banville Novelas como Benjamin Black[5]​ Premios y honores 1976 - Premio James Tait Black Memorial por Copérnico 1981 - Premio Guardian ficción por Kepler Premio Allied Irish Bank Fiction por Kepler Premio American-Irish Foundation por Birchwood 1989 - Premio Guinness Peat Aviation por El libro de las pruebas Finalista del Premio Booker 1989 por El libro de las pruebas 2003 - Premio Nonino a toda su obra (Italia) 2005 - Premio Booker por El mar 2006 - Premio Irish Book a la mejor novela del año por El mar 2007 - Miembro de número de la Royal Society of Literature Premio Madeleine Zepter 2009 - Honorary Patronage of the University Philosophical Society 2011 - Premio Franz Kafka 2013 - Premio Leteo 2013 - Premio Austriaco de Literatura Europea 2014 - Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras[6]​ 2017 - Premio RBA de Novela Policiaca Referencias Enlaces externos «En la selva oscura de la existencia», artículo de Claudio Magris en el suplemento cultural Babelia de El País, 08.03.2003; acceso 23.10.2011 John Banville en Canal-L, de Barcelona: "Deberíamos volver a ser paganos" Imposturas, de John Banville, reseña de Nicolás Cabral, Letras Libres, mayo de 2005; acceso 23.10.2011.
