塞萨尔·艾拉（César Aira），1949年生于阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省，是当代颇有个人特色的西班牙语作家、译者和评论家。艾拉从不在国内接受采访，总是在咖啡馆即兴写作，坚持在纸上写稿，写好的稿子从不修改。他的书大多是不足百页的中篇小说，且善于从流行文化和各种类型文学中汲取养分，作品想象丰富，形式多样，目前共出版有80多部小说、短篇集和评论性散文集。除写作之外，他翻译过大量文学作品，还在大学讲授法国诗人兰波和马拉美的作品。 艾拉在西语文学界饱受赞誉，成为继博尔赫斯、科塔萨尔等人之后备受推崇的阿根廷文学代表人物。2014年，艾拉入围纽斯塔特国际文学奖短名单，次年又入选曼布克国际文学奖决选名单。
