Francisco Machón Vilanova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francisco Machón Vilanova was a Salvadoran novelist, best known for his work Ola roja, which concerns the role of the indigenous populations of El Salvador that were massacred in the Matanza of 1932.[1][2] The novel is distinct from other works treating the Matanza, such as those by Salarrué or Claribel Alegría, in its decidedly anti-communist perspective. It was published in 1948 in México City, despite being written in San Francisco, where Machón Vilanova spent the later part of his life.
