The Future of New Writing: Diego Enrique Osorno

Diego Enrique Osorno was born in 1980 in Monterrey, Mexico. A reporter and writer, he has witnessed some of the twenty-first century’s major conflicts in Mexico and Latin America. He has been called one of the region’s most important journalists by the Gabriel García Márquez Foundation for New Journalism and has received Italy’s prestigious Stampa Romana. In 2014 he was awarded Mexico’s National Journalism Prize, which he dedicated to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. He is the author most recently of Slim, a biography of the richest man in the world, which Verso will publish in English. Like many other Mexican journalists, he has been threatened because of his work.
