The 70-year-old novelist was suffering from pneumonia prior to his death. (Antonio Heredia/El Mundo/IMAGO)Javier Marias, one of Spain’s most renowned novelists, died on Sunday at the age of 70, his publisher announced.
The novelist died in a hospital in Madrid due to complications from a lung infection, the Spanish EFE news agency reported. He had contracted COVID-19 earlier.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez mourned Marias’s death in a tweet, describing Sunday as a “sad day for Spanish letters.” He offered his condolences to the author’s friends and family.
“His extensive and talented work will forever be a fundamental part of our literature,” Sanchez wrote.
Born on September 20, 1951 in Madrid, the Spanish author wrote 16 novels, the last of which being “Tomas Nevinson,” which he published last year.
