The bulk of this interview is the result of a conversation with Evelio Rosero in May 2023. I took many texts from two texts published in the Boletín Cultural y Bibliográfico of the Banco de la República. The first, “On literary creation”, was published in 1993 (Boletín Cultural y Bibliográfico, vol. 30, no. 33). The second, “On editors and translators,” was first a conference and was published in 2013 (Boletín Cultural y Bibliográfico, vol. XLVII, no. 84). Digging around I came across an interview with him by Celedonio Orjuela and Mauricio Contreras that was published in Hojas Universitarias, the magazine of Universidad Central, in 1990 (no. 36). From there I took the epigraph.
