Alan Pauls is an Argentine writer, literary critic and screenwriter.

Early life

Pauls was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1]

Career

An early essay by Pauls on Betrayed by Rita Hayworth by Manuel Puig is said to show his interest in him as an "experimental writer." Although he has expressed skepticism about the avant-garde as any form of program, preferring to see it as a "toolbox." Among his own experimental works is Wasabi from 1994. He also had a longstanding interest in film and his later work El pasado was adapted to film in 2007.[1]

He wrote a "History of" trilogy with the titles being History of crying, History of hair, and History of money.[2]

Academia

Pauls has served as a visiting professor at Princeton University.[2]
