The author is a retired architect and urban planner from Mexico, born and raised in a catholic family but educated in local secular schools, first, and graduated studies abroad, later. His life had been that of a typical avid reader, finding pleasure in mind shaking literature; until existential doubts came up.
After a decade of almost obsessive submersion in religion related books, feeling grateful to so many dedicated and free-spirited thinkers and writers, the author penned Paraíso Imaginado, the Spanish language book published in 2016, from which Paradise Imagined is the revised and translated version.
