I am a writer and scholar from La Pampa, Argentina. I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Georgetown University, where I work on contemporary Latin American literature, the environmental humanities, and the cultural politics of the Anthropocene.
My first book, The Return of the Contemporary: The Latin American Novel in the End Times, reads twenty-first-century Latin American fiction as a literature of crisis, shaped by environmental catastrophe, economic collapse, and the long shadow of the dictatorships.
I co-edited Imagining a New Natural History: Latin American Cultural Production in the Anthropocene (University of Florida Press, 2026), a collection of essays on how contemporary writers, artists, and curators are rethinking the discipline of natural history in the face of the climate crisis.
I’m at work on two new books. The first, Extractive Fictions: Latin American Literature in the Anthropocene, examines how contemporary Latin American writers combine genres — horror, the Gothic, the weird, science fiction, and detective fiction — to render perceptible the slow, uneven violence of resource extraction across the region’s sacrifice zones. The second, tentatively titled Planetary Arts, explores how Latin American literature and visual culture imagine nonhuman forces — mountains, volcanoes, rivers, and plants — as agents in their own right.
