Pablo Torche

(Author)

View Author's Page

Pablo Torche (Santiago de Chile, 1974) is a Chilean writer and psychologist, with a Master's in English Literature from the University of London. He began doctoral studies in the same field, but abandoned them after two years, disenchanted with the cold academicism of literary studies. His literary career started with the storybooks Superheroes (2001) and In the Company of Actors (2004), both awarded the Best Literary Works Prize of Chile. Later, he published the novels Acqua alta (2009) and Filomela (2012), exploring themes such as love in decadent contexts and the reinterpretation of classic myths in contemporary settings.

In 2024, Torche released Starry Night, a novel that recreates the most productive year of Vincent van Gogh in Arles, addressing his battle against delirium and madness, and the power of art as a path to salvation. The work has been well received for its careful historical setting and its exploration of the relationship between art and madness. Besides his work as a writer, Torche has founded and edited cultural magazines like Intemperie and Battlefield, and offers literary workshops focused on figures like Van Gogh and Dostoevsky.

Novela ambiciosa y experimental, solo para paladares literarios. Pasea por las páginas de Borges, Bolaño, Shakespeare, y varios otros que no conozco. Muy distinta a Noche estrellada, la otra novela del autor, esta es mas extravagante y dispersa. Un romance entre Pablo y Chiara que parte en Venecia, y luego navega a otras aguas. Algunos pasajes maravillosos, otros enloquecidos, otros que definitivamente me superaron, detodas formas interesante lectura.
