Javier Marías Franco was a Spanish writer, translator, and editor born in Madrid on September 20, 1951, and died there on September 11, 2022. He was a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy from 2008 until his death.

It was translated into dozens of languages and became a key example of generic hybridism.
