Raimundo Carrero de Barros Filho is a Brazilian journalist and writer. He was born in the city of Salgueiro, Pernambuco, in 1947. His first contact with literature was still in his teens, when his brother became a circus artist and left him a box of books. He graduated from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). A career journalist, he spent more than 25 years at the Diário de Pernambuco.[1]
As a writer, he achieved prominence from the 1970s onwards, when he participated in the Armorial Movement, led by writer Ariano Suassuna and focused on the culture of the Northeast of Brazil.[2] He has won numerous prizes, among them the Sao Paulo Prize for Literature in 2010 for his novel A minha alma é irmã de Deus.[3]
He taught at UFPE between 1971 and 1996, and founded the Literary Creation Workshop in Recife, among whose graduates was the writer Marcelino Freire.[4]
