Born in Cuba in 1957, Miguel Correa Mujica has lived in New York since 1980, where he is an Associate Professor at the City University of New York.
In his introduction to Mujica's renowned book, author Reinaldo Arenas notes that "There are (at least) two kinds of good literature. One that emerges out of a rigorous dis-ciplined literary work and an organized and lucid talent; this kind normally produces limpid, beautiful, serene and even sumptuously desolate pages. The other kind, the one that really cuts through the bone and transcends, encom-passing the aforementioned qualities, also infects us — as a virus for which there's no antidote—with the glow of the curse, the torrential and unstoppable fury of the con-demned." North of Hell, quite obviously, is a book of the second kind, a work with "the imminent authenticity of its characters, its language, its world, its shouts."
Recognized as a major work of fiction upon its original publication in 1984, Mujica's book has undergone several printings and has been hailed as a masterwork throughout the Spanish-speaking literary world.
Mujica's second novel, Furia del discurso humano, was published in 2002.
