Miriam Beizana Vigo (born 20 August 1990)[1] is a Spanish writer and literary critic.
She was born in A Coruña and works in administration in the industrial sector, and has been writing since she was very young.[1] Her first novel, Marafariña.,[2][3] partly autobiographical, tells the love story of Ruth, a young Jehovah's Witness, and Olga, a Catalan girl who arrives newly to the village where Ruth resides; the sequel, Inflorescence, was published three years later.[4] Todas las horas mueren (literally, All the hours die), is a short fiction novel based on a story begun by her mother. She has also written an essay about the pop singer Tino Casal.[5][6][7]
Although her work often gives prominence to women (usually lesbians), she rejects the label of lesbian novels since her books are not exclusive to LGTBI people. In the words of the author:
I think that no author or author writes LGBT novel itself. They write romance novel, fantasy novel, intimate novel, science fiction novel whose plot reflects a homosexual character. I do not know what kind of world we live in that makes this type of books have a distinctive, as if they could only focus on a general public. What anger. As if it were a problem, a barrier, a badge. How squeaky. Because I read more of a heterosexual novel than a lesbian novel, but it seems that the heterosexual world can not assume reading a lesbian novel.[8]
Among her influences are Fannie Flagg, Virginia Woolf, Carmen Laforet, Rosa Montero and Ana María Matute.
She collaborates in literary criticism on A Librería website,[9] and writes articles on the LGTB visibility and dissemination portal Hay una lesbiana en mi sopa (literally, There is a lesbian in my soup).[10]
