}}Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel (born 1974, in Málaga, Spain) is a Spanish writer. He is well known in his native country for his short stories, and has won many awards. He is also known for his novels, including El asesino hipocondríaco (The Hypochondriac Hitman) and El gran imaginador (The Great Imaginator).[1]

Biography

Muñoz Rengel obtained his doctorate in Philosophy, and has taught in both Spain and the UK.

He is the author of the novels El gran imaginador (The Great Imaginator) (Penguin Random House, 2016), El asesino hipocondríaco (The Hypochondriac Hitman) (Penguin Random House, 2012) and El sueño del otro (The Other’s Dream) (Penguin Random House, 2013), as well as various collections of short stories: 88 Mill Lane (2006), De mecánica y alquimia (2009), Ignotus Best Short Story Collection Award, and El libro de los pequeños milagros (2013). His work has appeared in major anthologies including Pequeñas resistencias (Ed. Andrés Neuman, 2010), Siglo XXI (2010) and Cuento español actual (2014).

He has been described as one of the most outstanding Spanish writers. The international press and the critics recognize him as one of the most illustrious followers of the tradition of Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges.[2]

Muñoz Rengel is also a frequent contributor to the Spanish newspaper El País and a staff member of Spanish National Radio. He teaches creative writing at the Writer's Center Fuentetaja[3] in Madrid.

He was short-listed for the Clarín Alfaguara Novel Award,[4] Argentina's most prestigious international literary prize, of which José Saramago was president of the jury, for the novel El asesino hipocondríaco.

Works

His first book, 88 Mill Lane, is a selection of fantasy stories set in London. His second book of short stories, De mecánica y alquimia, Premio Ignotus Award for Best Short Story Collection[5] and short-listed for the Setenil Award for best short story collection,[6] broadens its settings to all Europe, from the 11th century to the future. He has twice won the La Felguera Short Stories Competition, one of the most important awards for Spanish fiction.

He coordinated and prefaced the short story anthologies La realidad quebradiza, Perturbaciones and Ficción Sur.

His novel El asesino hipocondríaco is a crime fiction parody, with appearances of Poe, Proust, Voltaire, Tolstoy, Molière, and other famous hypochondriacs in the history of literature and philosophy. A Paris Match (France) critic said, "Hilarious. Irresistible... "The Hypochondriac Hitman is much more than just a simple crime novel, it’s a true lesson in philosophy."[7] El Mundo (Spain) said, "With his novel Muñoz Rengel gives us an assassin whose murders it is possible to enjoy." Livres-Hebdo (France) called it "A delightful comedy."[8] The book is a best-seller in Spain and the publication rights have been sold in over 10 countries, including France, Italy, Mexico, Canada, Turkey, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.
