On May 13, 2001, the writer Salvador Garmendia died in the city of Caracas, a teacher who, with versatility, managed to collect a significant number of works that cover various genres of literature.
This Barquisimethane, born on June 11, 1928, stood out for his skill for narrative, starting at an early age as a screenwriter for radio theater and radio soap operas, whose work consisted of adapting great works to this format.
His work earned him several awards, including the National Prize for Literature, for the short story book “The Hiding Places” (1972); Juan Rulfo Latin American and Caribbean Literature Award in the Short Story award, with the story “As naked as a stone” (1989) and the Two Oceans of France Award (1992).
Salvador Garmendia dies at the age of 73 as a result of a lung condition. Today, 24 years after the physical departure of this illustrious Venezuelan, the people honor the legacy of this master of letters who crossed with great skill all the boundaries of the art of writing.
