Edgar Borges is born in Caracas, Venezuela, on April 24th, 1966. Generally Borges writes about fiction narrative, novel, chronicle and the drama. His books are focused over multiple everyday realities around the lives of human beings. His work has been recognized in several international contests and prominent experts have remarked about it, emphasizing the creative strength of this Latin American writer.

Since 2005, his creative world is well known in Spain. In the frame of “Don Quijote de la Mancha IV Centennial”, Radio Exterior broadcasting acquires the rights of his radio serial work “The escape of Don Quijote”, to be transmitted internationally. During the same year Grupo Búho publishes his book “Cain's flight and other stories”, whose foreword was performed by the writer Antonio Gómez Rufo, from Madrid, Spain.

On April 2008, his new novel Who killed my mother?, was picked out among the three better works of the “Ducal of Loeche City, III Novel National Prize”, Madrid.

Since 2008 is professor at the Escuela de Letras de Madrid.

Rosalinda García, researcher from Venezuela, points out that “violence in its different aspects: social, domestic, individual, with death as a result, is gaining space in Edgar Borges stories. The icon of the revolver as the murder weapon comes over and over, scattering tragedy; and love, even mother's love is destroyed by crime. The author faces us with darkness and the gloomiest part of the human being, depicted specially by murderers. But also introduces the search of light.”
