Isabel Allende

I had the honor of photographing the New York Times best selling author Isabel Allende for Venice Magazine. She was sweet and charming and her husband William was nice enough to hold the reflector for me.

Allende, whose works sometimes contain aspects of the "magic realist" tradition, is one of the best-known women writers in Latin America. She is largely famous for novels such as The House of the Spirits (1982) and City of the Beasts (2002), which have been commercially very successful. Allende has been described as "the world’s most widely read Spanish-language author."

Check your local book store for her most recent novel The Island Beneath the Sea (2010).
