Abstract

Within the last fifteen years, Sergio Ramírez has become Nicaragua's most
prolific and celebrated novelist. Known first and foremost for his revolutionary activity to defeat the Somoza dictatorship in the 1970's as well as his tenure as Vice President during the first Sandinista Government in the 1980's, Sergio Ramírez has written a number of novels which include Tiempo de fulgor (1970), ¿Te dio miedo la sangre? (1977), Castigo divino (1988), Un baile de máscaras (1995), Margarita, está linda la mar (1998), and Mil y una muertes (2004). Sergio Ramirez's rise as a novelist closely coincides with the end of his political career when he "returned to be what he was before dedicating 25 years of his life to the Revolution...a writer."
