Biography


Sylvia Lago was born in Montevideo on 20 November 1932.[3][4] Her great-aunt was professor Elda Lago, a member of the Generación del 45, who bequeathed her home to the University of the Republic (UdelaR).[5] Lago studied literature at the Instituto de Profesores Artigas [es] (IPA).[3] She carried out academic and scientific activities at the Department of Uruguayan and American Literature at UdelaR's Faculty of Humanities and Educational Sciences, eventually becoming its chair.[3][6]

In 1962, she published her first work, the young adult novel Trajano, which won awards in contests organized by the magazine Número and the Departmental Council of Montevideo.[7] Three years later, she published another novel, Tan solos en el verano. It was followed by La última razón in 1968. Her output was limited in the years after the 1973 coup d'état; she mainly published short story collections, such as Detrás del rojo, Las flores conjuradas, and El corazón de la noche.[8]

In 1988, she published Quince cuentos para una antología. She also contributed to the anthologies Cuentos de nunca acabar (1992), Cuentos de atar (1993), and Erkundungen (1993), the latter in co-authorship with Rafael Courtoisie [es] and Washington Benavides. Her 1995 book Días dorados, días en sombra contains works written between 1965 and 1995.

In 2002, her novel Saltos mortales won second prize at the Ministry of Education and Culture's annual literature contest.[9]

She has served as a juror for literary competitions such as the Colihue Young Adult Novel Contest and the Juan Carlos Onetti Literary Contest.[10][11][12]
