# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Isabel Angélica Allende Llona was born in Chile on 2 August 1942. Her works, often laced with magical realism, draw on personal experience and historical events—a method that paid off when The House of the Spirits arrived in 1982 and found a global audience. City of the Beasts followed in 2002, part of a catalog that kept growing as she lectured at U.S. colleges and became fluent enough in English to gain American citizenship in 1993, after settling in California in 1989. In 2004 she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters; in 2010 Chile gave her its National Literature Prize. Four years later, Barack Obama handed her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
