Due to his political involvement with the student movement in the early 1970’s, he was forced to leave Chile. He then traveled throughout Latin America and eventually moved to Germany in 1980, where he lived with his family for more than ten years. Sepúlveda has lived in Gijón, Spain since 1997. His work has been translated into over thirty languages and won numerous literary awards. Most recently, he received the Primavera de Novela Prize in 2009 for his new novel, La sombra de lo que fuimos (A Shadow of What We Were).)
