Ana Iris Simón (Campo de Criptana, Ciudad Real, 2 June 1991) is a Spanish writer, best known for her autobiographical novel Feria.[1]

Biography

Simón was born in Campo de Criptana before moving to Noblejas and growing up in Ontígola after her parents moved there for work.[2] She maintained a connection with Campo de Criptana because her four grandparents lived there.[3]

She studied at Virgen del Rosario in Ontígola, Vicente Aleixandre in Aranjuez, and IES Alpajés before attending King Juan Carlos University to study audiovisual communications and journalism.[4]

After living in Madrid and Ávila, she moved to Aranjuez, where she has two children with her partner, the political scientist Hasel-Paris Álvarez.[5] [6]

Professional life

She served as editor of Telva and Vice España, where she wrote about politics, social rights, music, and gender, and was a screenwriter for Playz.[7]

In October 2020, she published Feria, which became a bestseller.

On 22 May 2021, she was invited as a speaker at Palace of Moncloa where she delivered a strongly critical speech about the depopulation of rural Spain in front of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, which went viral.[8]

Since September 2021, she has worked as a columnist for El País.[9] In September 2023, she published a children's book titled ¿Y si fuera feria cada día?, illustrated by Coco Dávez.[10]

She has been a critic of liberalism and progressivism, describing them as a part of "forward flight",[11] [12] and has opposed Spain's relationship with the European Union.[13]
