Gabriela Bustelo

Who is Gabriela Bustelo?

Gabriela Bustelo is a Spanish author, journalist and translator.

Included in the 1990 neorealist generation of Spanish novelists, Bustelo made her debut with Veo Veo, a postmodern "cult" novelette. She shares with José Ángel Mañas, Ray Loriga and Lucía Etxebarria a crisp style visibly influenced by commercial culture — advertising, pop music, film and television. Gabriela Bustelo is one of the few Spanish women who have written science fiction. Her second novel Planeta Hembra, located in New York, is a dystopia on the gender crisis and a satiric overview of feminism. La historia de siempre jamás portrays the frivolity of European upper classes. In 1996 she began to write in Spanish newspapers and magazines, having signed a political column for six years.
