Kunwar Narain (कुँवर नारायण) (born 19 September 1927)[1] is a poet and a presence in Indian literature, often regarded as the leading living poet in Hindi.[1] He has read and traveled widely, written over the last six decades and is among the few intellectuals who combine an international modern sensibility with a grounding in their country’s cultural and imaginative history. Linked to the New Poetry movement, he publishes selectively and is characteristically polite. He read English literature and publishes in Hindi but also plays with English and Urdu. Earlier, he lived in Lucknow where his house was a centre of literary meets and classical performances. He now lives in with his wife and son. Influences on him have been diverse, from the Indian epics and Upanishads to Kabir and Amir Khusro, history and mythology to Buddhism and Marxism, Kafka and Cavafy to Ghalib and Gandhi.

Nasceu na cidade de Curitiba, em 14 de junho de 1925. Formou-se na Faculdade de Direito do Paraná e liderou o grupo literário que publicou, entre 1946 e 1948, a revista Joaquim. A publicação, que circulou até dezembro de 1948, continha o material de seus primeiros livros de ficção, incluindo Sonata ao luar (1945) e Sete anos de pastor (1948). Em 1954, publicou o Guia Histórico de Curitiba, Crônicas da Província de Curitiba, O dia de Marcos e Os domingos ou Ao armazém do Lucas, edições populares à maneira dos folhetos de feira. A partir dos habitantes da cidade, criou personagens e situações de significado universal, em que as tramas psicológicas e os costumes são recriados por meio de uma linguagem concisa e popular, que valoriza os incidentes do cotidiano sofrido e angustiante. Publicou também Novelas nada exemplares (1959), Morte na praça (1964), Cemitério de elefantes (1964) e O vampiro de Curitiba (1965). Isolado dos meios intelectuais e concorrendo sob pseudônimo, Trevisan conquistou o primeiro lugar do I Concurso Nacional de Contos do Estado do Paraná, em 1968. Escreveu depois A guerra conjugal (1969) – mais tarde transformada em filme –, Crimes da paixão (1978) e Lincha tarado (1980). Em 1994, publicou Ah, é?, obra-prima do estilo minimalista. Seu único romance publicado é A polaquinha. Trevisan é reconhecido como um dos maiores contistas vivos da literatura brasileira pela maioria dos críticos do país. Apesar disso, é avesso a entrevistas e exposições em órgãos de comunicação social. Por esse motivo recebeu a alcunha de “Vampiro de Curitiba”, nome de um de seus livros. Além da Literatura, Trevisan exerce a advocacia e é proprietário de uma fábrica de vidros. Fonte
