Jorge Volpi is a doctor in law and a teacher of Mexican literature at the UNAM (Autonomous University of Mexico), as well as a PhD in Hispanic Philology by the University of Salamanca. The author of nine novels, including In Search of Klingsor, for which he won the Spanish Premio Biblioteca Breve prize and the French Deux-Ocans-Grizane-Cavour Prize, Volpi is one of the founders of the "Crack" groupa Mexican literary movement that seeks to move beyond magical realism and mimics the ideals of the 1968 Latin American literary Boom.
