Marvel Moreno

Marvel Moreno was born on 23 September 1939 in Barranquilla, into a well-off family of the coast, and at eleven was expelled from a convent school for defending Darwin against Church doctrine. Crowned queen of her city's carnival at twenty, she entered, through the painter Alejandro Obregón, whose friend she would remain, the circle of writers and journalists who gathered there. In 1962 she married the writer Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, with whom she had two daughters, left Colombia and lived in France to the end. She died in Paris on 5 June 1995.
