Marina Yuszczuk
Marina Yuszczuk was born in Quilmes in 1978 but spent most of her life in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, where she studied Literature.
She was involved in the publishing cooperative Cooperativa Editora el Calamar, which released her work Guía práctica de las mariposas in 2004.
In 2011, she received a national grant from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes, recognizing her literary contributions.
Yuszczuk wrote Thirst between 2017 and 2019, partly as a way of processing the grief surrounding her mother's prolonged illness and death, turning to horror fiction to explore themes she found otherwise difficult to express.
