H. G. Carrillo

H. G. "Hache" Carrillo was an American writer and Assistant Professor of English at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. In the 1990s, he began writing as "H. G. Carrillo", and he eventually adopted that identity in his private life as well, constructing a false claim to have been a Cuban immigrant who had left Cuba with his family at the age of 7, when in fact he was an African-American. Carrillo wrote frequently about a fictional Cuban immigrant experience in the United States, including in his only novel, Loosing My Espanish (2004).
