Antonio Skarmeta Offers Wisdom at Hispanic New York Class - Columbia University

“The key to my success was informality,” Chilean writer and Columbia alumnus Antonio Skármeta told the undergraduate Hispanic New York class last Thursday. Judging by his immense success and the joy in his voice, this strategy still seems to be working.

Skármeta is best known in North America for his novella, Ardiente Paciencia, which was made into an Italian Academy Award-winning movie called “Il Postino” (”The Postman”). But he is also the author of 11 novels, most recently El Baile de la Victoria and La Chica del Trombón, both widely embraced in Latin America. His work draws from other specific Latin American novels, poems, and writers, particularly Pablo Neruda. He also hosted one of Latin America’s highest-rated and most watched TV shows for several years and served as a Chilean ambassador to Germany.”*
