Ignacio Echevarría
Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Ignacio Echevarría Pérez (Barcelona, 1960) is a Spanish literary critic and editor.[1]
Echevarría was a staff member of Spanish newspaper El País.,[2] until its editors removed him in 2004 for a vituperative review of El hijo del acordeonista by Basque writer Bernardo Atxaga.[3] The novel had appeared in Alfaguara, a publishing house then owned by the same media group as the newspaper. His ousting prompted a letter of protest signed by writers, editors and regular contributors.[4]
Echevarría has been mistakenly taken for the literary executor of Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño,[5] but the Bolaño Estate has categorically denied this assertion ever been true.[6]
In 2007, Daniel Zalewski in The New Yorker called Echevarría "Spain's most prominent literary critic".[7]
