Novelist & photographer
Juan Rulfo
Mexican writer of Pedro Paramo and one book of stories, on which a whole tradition of Latin American fiction rests, and a photographer of rural Mexico.
Juan Nepomuceno Carlos Pérez Rulfo Vizcaíno, best known as Juan Rulfo, was a Mexican writer, screenwriter, and photographer. He is best known for two literary works, the 1955 novel Pedro Páramo, and the collection of short stories El Llano en llamas.
