LAURA RESTREPO is a bestselling author and political activist, whose novels include Leopard in the Sun and The Angel of Galilea, which was awarded Mexico’s Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Prize and the Prix France Cultural Award. She has been a professor of literature at the National University of Colombia as well as publisher of the weekly magazine Semana. In 1984 she was a member of the peace commission that brought the Colombian government and guerrillas to the negotiating table.
