Jorge Cárdenas es psicólogo. Nació en Bogotá. Cárdenas piensa que la literatura es una de las terapias a las que podemos acudir una y otra vez en la vida. El acto de escribir es catarsis pura. Y la lectura, es ese espacio de tiempo en el que nos permitimos abandonar el cuerpo que habitamos para encarnar otros más, para viajar, ir de un lugar a otro sin movernos, y ser muchos a la vez.
