--
Narrador, ensayista, antólogo y crítico literario. En la década de los sesenta, fue parte del movimiento contestario Tzántzico y, posteriormente, colaboró con la revista La bufanda del sol, editada en Quito. En los ochenta, dirigió la revista cultural Palabra Suelta.

Al abordar Divertinventos, la poeta Ileana Espinel, apunta: Jorge Luis Borges hubiera celebrado este libro y seguramente firmado ese cuento perfecto que esDe la genética y sus logros, por su empavorecedora trama que, bajo el tiempo y los genes, con la ciencia rectora esta vez de la fantástica utopía, invierte el proceso de evolución de la vida, con la regeneración del material celular.
