Luis Rafael Sánchez
(Humacao, Puerto Rico, 1936) Puerto Rican writer. In 1948 his family moved to San Juan, the capital city, like many other families involved in the working-class migration to the capital, a result of the industrialization sponsored by the Popular Democratic Party during the 1940s. In San Juan, he received primary and secondary education in the public instruction system.
Interested in dramatic arts, he began his artistic career as an actor while studying and working in radio. He became a playwright after graduating. In 1955, he moved to Mexico to refine his theatrical art. The University of Puerto Rico awarded him a scholarship that allowed him to take courses at Columbia University and New York University in 1959, where he earned a Master of Arts in 1963. Although he started his doctoral studies at Columbia University, he completed them at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, in 1976. Sánchez also served as a professor at various universities in the United States, including the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus.
