Julián Ríos

Julián Ríos (born March 11, 1941, in Vigo, Galicia) is a Spanish writer, most frequently classified as a postmodernist, whom Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes has called "the most inventive and creative" of Spanish-language writers. His first two books were written à deux with Octavio Paz.

His best known work, experimental and heavily influenced by the verbal inventiveness of James Joyce, was published in 1983 under the title Larva.

Ríos lives and works in France, on the outskirts of Paris.
