Gloria Lisé

Lisé was 15 years old when a coup d'état overthrew Isabel Perón's government and a military junta took control of Argentina on March 24, 1976. The political turmoil of this era inspired her to write her novels Viene Clareando and Paisaje de Final de Época, which focus on the impact of Argentina's Dirty War on its citizens.
