Gonzalo Ceron Garcia was born in Santiago and spent his first years in Chile's Colchagua Valley region, before moving to Switzerland and eventually to the University of Kent, where he studied for a PhD under Scarlett Thomas. He currently teaches creative writing at the University of Warwick. His debut novel, We Are The End, was published by Galley Beggar Press in 2017. His second novel, Telenovela, was published in November 2025.
In this episode, Gonzalo reflects on writing in English after leaving Chile, and on the distance a new language can create — from place, from memory, and from inherited histories.
We talk about family, politics, and storytelling, and about the freedom that comes from approaching language as something fluid, playful, and alive.
