罗莎·蒙特罗·加约（西班牙语：Rosa Montero Gayo，西班牙语发音：[ˈrosa monˈteɾo 'gaʝo]，1951年1月3日—）是西班牙当代作家、记者。

生平

1951年出生于马德里，父亲是斗牛士。5岁时写下了人生中的第一篇小说。1969年进入马德里大学学习，参与独立先锋剧团“牛虻”（Tábano）和“卡农”（Canon）。1970年转到马德里新闻学院新闻学专业，并开始从事记者的工作。

自1976年起，她开始在刚创刊没多久的《国家报》编辑部工作，撰写了许多风格独特的专栏文章。1979年，她的处女作《失恋纪实录》在当时西班牙文坛激起波澜。这部小说的背景是妇女解放运动的巅峰时刻，以第三人称视角讲述女主人公与一群女友的爱情和婚姻经历，通过对女性自我意识的描写与刻画，显现了西班牙妇女在社会政治转型时期所经历的各种变化和困境。1997年小说《食人肉者的女儿》获“西班牙长篇小说之春奖”。

1995年，她出版了《女性小传》，2005年中译本由南海出版公司在中国出版。这本书收录了她在国家报中以纪实风格创作的16篇西方杰出女性的传奇传记，包括法国女作家波伏瓦、乔治·桑、法国雕塑家卡米耶·克洛岱尔、奥地利作曲家阿尔玛·马勒和英国勃朗特三姊妹等知名人物。

Rosa Montero Gayo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈrosa monˈteɾo ˈɣaʝo]; born 3 January 1951) is a Spanish journalist and author of contemporary fiction.

Early life and education

The daughter of a bullfighter and a housewife, Montero was born in Cuatro Caminos, a district of Madrid. The contraction of tuberculosis forced her to remain at home between the ages of five and nine, and she began reading and writing extensively during that time. She then entered the Beatriz Galindo Institute of Madrid, and at 17, she began her university studies in Madrid University's School of Philosophy and Arts (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras). The following year, she was admitted into the School of Journalism. During her university years, she participated in independent theatre groups.

Writing career

After school, she began working as a journalist, and in 1976, she began working at El País. In 1977, she began publishing interviews in the Sunday edition of the paper, and the following year, she won the "Manuel del Arco" prize for her work and was the first woman to receive it. She also published her first novel in 1979, Crónica del desamor (Chronicle of Enmity). In 1980, she won the National Journalism Prize for her articles and literary reports, and that year, she was named editor-in-chief of El País Semanal.

In 1981 she published La función Delta (The Delta Function), and the following year, a collection of her interviews previously published in El País was released, with the title "Cinco años de país" (Five Years of El País). The novel Te trataré como una reina (I Will Treat You Like a Queen) followed in 1983 and was a commercial success. She was awarded the World Prize for interviews in 1987 and published Temblor (Tremor) in 1990.

Her first children's story, El nido de los sueños (The Nest of Dreams), was published in 1992, and in the following years, she released Bella y Oscura (Beautiful and Dark, 1993) and La Vida desnuda (The Naked Life, 1994). In 1994 she was awarded the Journalism Prize, and in 1997 she received the Spring Novel Prize for her work La hija del caníbal (The Cannibal's Daughter). In 1999, she published Pasiones (Passions), and in 2002, Estampas bostonianas y otros viajes. In 2003, she published what she considers one of her best works, La Loca de la Casa (The Lunatic of the House). This book won the Qué Leer Prize for the best book published in Spain in 2003, and the Grinzane Cavour Prize for the best foreign book published in Italy in 2004. In 2005 she published Historia del Rey Transparente (Story of the Transparent King), which also won the Qué Leer Prize as the best book published in Spain in 2005.

Her short story El Abuelo (The Grandfather) was included in Rainy Days - Días de lluvia: Short Stories by Contemporary Spanish Women Writers, an anthology edited by Montserrat Lunati, together with a translation into English.
