Fabio Fiallo

Fabio Federico Fiallo Cabral (born February 3, 1866 in Santo Domingo , † August 28, 1942 in Havana ) was a Dominican writer, journalist, diplomat and politician.

The son of the politician Juan Ramón Fiallo Rodríguez studied law, but his interests lay in the field of politics and literature. He founded several magazines ( El Hogar , 1894, La Bandera Libre , 1899, La Campaña , 1905) and worked for the Listín Diario and El Lápiz newspapers . At the end of 1900, under the government of Juan Isidro Jiménez , he was imprisoned for several months with Arturo Pellerano Alfau , head of the Listín Doario .

In the following years he held various political offices - including State Secretary for the Interior (1903) and Special Representative of the Government of Azua, Samaná and Barahona (1904) - and was consul in Havana (1905), New York (1905) and Hamburg (1910) . In 1913 he became governor of Santo Domingo. He was persecuted for his work for national independence and was imprisoned again during the US occupation.

Fiallo published several volumes of poetry in which the influences of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Heinrich Heine show, as well as short stories, the novel Las manzanas de Mefisto (1934) and the drama La cita (1936). He was friends with the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío and corresponded with Juana de Ibarbourou and Ana María Garasino , among others .
