16, JACINTA SHIELDS

Jacinta Shields, been born in Saint Saviour in 1961, is

a writer whose central body of work includes novels,
tales, poetry and chronic, that have published in
newspapers like The Nation (Costa Rica), The Graphic
Press (The Saviour) and The New Newspaper
(Nicaragua). Although it writes mainly in Spanish,
dominates also the English, the German and the
French and has worked like translator by several
years. Shields has travelled at length and has lived in
several countries centroamericanos and Europeans.
The plurality of these cultural and geographic fusions
self-evident in his literary production and intellectual
thought. His more recent novel, To-B-Sudario
(Alfaguara, 2003), was winner of the Prize
Centroamericano of Novel Mario Monteforte Toledo. Also it has received
scholarships and residences of The Maison give crivains trangers et give
Traducteurs in Saint-Nazaire, France, and Heinrich Bll Haus in Langenbroich,
Germany.

In spite of being a prolific author with a lot of publications, big part of his work
follows unpublished. However, some of his no published works have been
recognised. In 2000, for example, Shields won a national competition in The
Saviour, the Tenth Floral Games of Ahuachapn, by his book, Chronicles for
sentimental.

The narrative voice of Shields employs constantly forms and experimental

technicians. This experimentation is intencional, one that structures and situates
his work in the possibilities of the opening and his relation between the I and the
space. This narrative voice and his relation with other literary maps shows in
the current participation of Shields in the blogsfera. His bitcora official,
Jacintario, is a half updated daily, where the bitcora is an extension of the
writing of Shields, a form of expression where the voice of the author and the
content varies.
