Alonso Quesada

Alonso Quesada was the pseudonym of Rafael Romero Quesada, an author born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1886. He died in Santa Brígida on 4 November 1925.

His career belongs to early twentieth-century Canarian literature, with work that combines poetry, narrative and chronicle. El lino de los sueños is one of his central titles and has supported much of his later critical reception.

There is no documented basis to attribute to him the founding of journals or specific literary relationships. Its editorial interest is anchored in the pseudonym, the work and his place in studies of Canarian literature.
