1915

José Veiga, known as José J. Veiga (February 2, 1915 – September 19, 1999), was a Brazilian writer. His writings are often classified within the magical realism genre, although he denied the label; his books deal with social and political criticism, with lyrical overtones.

Veiga was born in 1915 at Fazenda Morro Grande, a farm near Corumbá de Goiás. At age 20, he established himself in Rio de Janeiro where, among other jobs, worked as locutor of the currently defunct Rádio Guanabara. In 1941 he graduated in Law at Faculdade Nacional de Direito. From 1945 until 1949 Veiga lived in London, as commentator and translator for the Portuguese broadcasts of BBC World Service. Returning to Brazil, he worked as journalist in the newspapers O Globo and Tribuna da Imprensa. He was also translator and editor of the Brazilian edition of Reader's Digest and coordinated the publishing department of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation.
