Héctor Tizón (October 21, 1929 – July 30, 2012) was an Argentinian writer, journalist, lawyer, judge, and diplomat.[1] He lived and worked from the ancestral home of his parents in Yala, a small rural town some 40 mi (64 km) north of San Salvador de Jujuy. Tizón served as the cultural attache in the Argentine Embassy in Mexico, and was forced into exile to Cercedilla in the Sierra de Guadarrama, west of Madrid, shortly after the military coup of March 24, 1976. Upon his return to Argentina, he settled back in Jujuy where he died on July 30, 2012.[2] He won the Diamond Konex Award in 2004 as one of the most preeminent writers in Argentina.
