Lola Larra was born in Santiago, Chile and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. After studying arts at the Andrés Bello Catholic University and then following a rock band across Latin America, she moved to Madrid where she worked for many years as a journalist. She was a writer and correspondent for a series of newspapers and magazines including Rolling Stone, Cinemanía, Colors, Vogue, Página 12, and El País.
14 years later, she returned to Chile, where she published Al sur de la Alameda, an illustrated novel inspired by Chile's 2006 student revolution. It has since been translated into various languages and won several awards.
