Antonio Ungar (born 1974) is a Colombian writer.[1]
He has published several collections of short stories and novels. His latest novel "Three White Coffins" relates a fictitious political intrigue, and mixes a large amount of factual political events with a fictional hero-antihero character. The main political characters of the novel mirror real recent political leaders of Colombia, suspected of close connections to paramilitary groups.
