The Mexican novelist Mario Bellatín (born July 23, 1960, Mexico City, Mexico) has emerged in recent years as one of the leading voices in Latin American experimental fiction. As an active member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores since 1999, some of his most important works are Flores (2000, for which he won the Xavier Villaurrutia 2001 award), Shiki Nagaoka: una actriz de ficción (2001), La escuela del dolor humano de Sechuán (2001), Jacobo el mutante (2002), Perros héroes (2003), Underwood modelo portátil 1915 (2005) y Biografía ilustrada de Mishima (2009). In 2001 he founded the Escuela Dinámica de Escritores, which he still directs today. In 2002 the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation made him a fellow for his innovative work in the field of written fiction, and in 2008 he was awarded the National Book Award, sponsored by the Instituto Municipal de Cultura, Turismo y Arte de Mazatlán, for his novel El gran vidrio (2007).
