Santiago Amigorena

Santiago Amigorena fascinates me as a genuine polymath: novelist, screenwriter, film director, producer, and painter, all in one career. An Argentine from Buenos Aires who won the Académie française's Prix François-Mauriac, he crossed both languages and borders to make his work, which I read as the strength of an artist with no single home. People who refuse to stay inside one discipline usually have something restless and honest driving them, and I tend to trust that instinct. He's the rare figure for whom the word versatile feels earned rather than flattering, and I'd read or watch almost anything he made.
