Carolina De Robertis grew up in an Uruguayan family that immigrated to England, Switzerland, and California. Her first novel, The Invisible Mountain (Knopf, 2009), is available or forthcoming in sixteen countries and twelve languages. Her fiction and literary translations have appeared in The Virginia Quarterly Review, ColorLines, and Zoetrope: Allstory, among others.
