The writer and philologist Clara Sanchez (Guadalajara, March 1, 1955) has been elected by the Plenary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) to occupy chair Xvacant since the death of Francisco Brines on May 20, 2021.
His candidacy was presented by the academics Soledad Puértolas, Carme Riera and Paloma Díaz-Mas, as reported by the RAE itself.
Clara Sánchez has a degree in Hispanic Philology from the Complutense University. In the Complutense entered the field of semantics. She was a university professor for seventeen years at UNED, but she has also participated as a commentator, columnist, and contributor to various Spanish and foreign media.
Since his first novel published in 1989, ‘Precious Stones’, critics have highlighted, as fundamental contributions to the literature of the late 20th century, the originality and modernity of his narrativea, his contemporaneity.
After 34 years and hundreds of written pages, he has not given up in his efforts to investigate the ins and outs of the present, to capture what the times bring. “She herself has confessed her obsession with tearing out the extraordinary from the ordinary, the surprising from the most routine lives,” says the RAE.
Clara Sánchez has been translated into several languages and her work has significant international repercussions, especially in Italy. Among the awards received is the Alfaguara ‘Latest news from paradise’ award, the Nadal ‘What hides your name’ or the Planet ‘Heaven has returned’ award, among other national and international recognitions.
