Angelica Gorodischer Amalia Gladhart Biography & Facts
Angélica Gorodischer (28 July 1928 – 5 February 2022) was an Argentine writer whose short stories and novels belong to a wide variety of genres, including science fiction, fantasy, and crime. Her literature has a feminist perspective. Biography Gorodischer was born in Buenos Aires on 28 July 1928. She lived in Rosario from the age of eight, and the city appeared very frequently in her work. In 2007 the city council of Rosario awarded her the title of Illustrious Citizen. In the English-speaking world, Gorodischer might be best known for Kalpa Imperial (In Argentina volume 1 appeared in 1983 and both volumes by 1984). A collection of short stories, it details the history of a vast imaginary empire through tales of fantasy, fable, and allegory. Its English translation by notable United States speculative fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin was published by Small Beer Press in 2003. A part of the translated work appeared in the American anthology Starlight 2. She also produced many works before Kalpa Imperial, including the collections Opus dos [Opus two, 1967], Bajo las jubeas en flor [Under the Flowering Jubeas,1973], and Casta Luna Electrónica [Chaste Electric Moon, 1977]. She was a science fiction author noted for her work on the inequality of power between men and women. She focused on powerful people and corrupt rulers in her writing. Gorodischer was author of two novels within the genre of detective fiction. Her detective character is a grand dame who reluctantly and haphazardly engages in the world of international intrigue, making her debut in her 1985 novella entitled Floreros de alabastro, alfombras de Bokhara, which won the Emecé Literary Prize (1984-85) by unanimous decision. This detective character reappeared later in a different form in Jugo de mango (1988). Angélica Gorodischer died on 5 February 2022, at the age of 93. Novels Opus dos.
