Rafael Yglesias

Rafael Yglesias (born May 12, 1954, in New York City) is an American novelist and screenwriter. His parents are the novelists José Yglesias and Helen Yglesias, and blogger and journalist Matthew Yglesias is his son.

Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, and now lives in Greenwich Village. He dropped out of high school upon publication of his first novel, "Hide Fox, and All After", in 1972.

He later began writing screenplays; the first to be produced, "Fearless", was an adaptation of his novel of the same title. Other films written by Yglesias were adaptations of works by Ariel Dorfman, Victor Hugo, and Alan Moore; his latest film, "Dark Water", is a remake of a J-horror film of the same name.
