Escritor, crítico literario y diplomático. Se formó en letras en la Universidad de Chile, y se trasladó a los Estados Unidos, donde obtuvo una maestría en la Universidad Estatal de Bowling Green y el doctorado en la Universidad de California en Berkeley en 1947. Ya era entonces un autor reconocido, sobre todo tras la publicación en 1943 de Lautaro, joven Libertador de Arauco. Regresó luego a Chile, donde fue una figura central en los grupos de escritores nucleados en la Universidad de Concepción. El éxito masivo le llegaría con Caballo de Copas (1957), novela que el filósofo y escritor español Fernando Savater considera la mejor sobre carrera de caballos escrita en español.

Quotes by Fernando Alegría (?)

“I realized that a new phase of exile was beginning, that from now on there would be other periods, all different, each with its own anxieties, all shattering and overwhelming, and that I would be changing too, passing from one crisis to the next until I reached the moment of truth, unique and definitive — the day on which I would either stop being an exile and return home, or unavoidably, with sadness and resignation, become an immigrant.”
― Fernando Alegria
