Guadalupe Nettel

Guadalupe Nettel (born 1973) is a Mexican writer. She has published four novels, including The Body Where I Was Born (2011), After the Winter (2014) and Still Born (2023), which was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, as well as three short story collections. She is a recipient of numerous international awards. She has contributed to Granta, El País, The New York Times, The Yale Review, The White Review, La Repubblica and La Stampa. Her works have been translated into more than 20 languages and adapted for film and theater.

Guadalupe Nettel was born in Mexico City and spent part of her childhood in the south of France. She obtained a PhD in linguistics from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris.

Nettel's novel El huésped was published by Editorial Anagrama in 2006. In 2007, she was selected by the Hay Festival as one of the Bogotá 39, a group of promising young Latin American authors under forty. In 2009, she received the Anna Seghers Prize in Berlin.

The US-based publisher Seven Stories Press published her short-story collection El matrimonio de los peces rojos (winner of the Ribera del Duero award ) as Natural Histories (2014) , as well as the novel The Body Where I Was Born (2015), and her collection Bezoar and Other Unsettling Stories (2020).

After the Winter (winner of the Premio Herralde) was published by MacLehose Press in the United Kingdom and by Coffee House Press in the US.

In 2022, her novel Still Born, published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in the UK, was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and praised by Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux as a book that "renders with great veracity life as it is encountered in the everyday, taking us to the heart of the only things that really matter: life, death and our relationship with others."

Between 2024 and 2025, she was a fellow at the Institute for Ideas & Imagination at Columbia University in Paris.

The Accidentals, her most recent collection of short stories, has been published in the UK by Fitzcarraldo in 2025.
