Carlos Yushimito del Valle (born 1977 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian writer of Japanese descent.
Biography
Carlos Yushimito del Valle studied Latin American Literature at National University of San Marcos where he graduated in 2002. Two years later he published his first short stories collection, El Mago (The Magician), and in 2006 his second book, Las Islas (Islands), warmly received by the critics. Since then, his stories have appeared in several anthologies of short stories in Peru and abroad. In 2010 he was considered by the British literary magazine Granta as one of the twenty two best writers in Spanish Language under 35 years [1][2][3][4][5][6] along with authors like Santiago Roncagliolo, Andres Neuman and Alejandro Zambra. He has been invited, among others, to Quito Book Fair and Miami International Book Fair, to the First International Festival of Young Writers in La Habana, Cuba and to several U.S. Universities, including New York University, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), San Jose State University, California, and University of California, Berkeley.
His stories, set in favelas and sertões, are inspired by Brazil, though he has never been there. He moved to the United States in 2008, to study a MA in Hispanic Studies at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, and later to Providence, Rhode Island, where is currently pursuing his PhD at Brown University.
His work has been partially translated into English, French and Portuguese.
