Víctor Álamo de la Rosa

Víctor Álamo de la Rosa was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 29 October 1969 and spent his childhood in El Hierro, especially in El Pinar and La Restinga. His official biography links him to the University of La Laguna, where he completed a degree in Hispanic Philology in 1994.

His fiction keeps a sustained relationship with El Hierro as a literary territory. The author's bibliography includes novels and books such as El humilladero, El año de la seca, Campiro que, Terramores, La cueva de los leprosos, Isla nada, El pacto de las viudas and La ternura del caníbal.

The 2013 Benito Pérez Armas Novel Prize for Todas las personas que mueren de amor documents one of his literary recognitions. This profile keeps the editorial association with El Hierro, but corrects the place of birth so that biographical origin is not confused with cultural belonging.
