Patricia Paola Fernández Silanes (born 23 June 1971), better known as
Nona Fernández, is a Chilean actress, author, and screenwriter. She
is a recipient of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, and the
Altazor prize (on many occasions).An only child of a single mother,
Nona Fernández grew up in a Matta Avenue neighborhood close to the
market Persa BÃobÃo. There she had her first job, selling
second-hand clothes.Even though her name is the same as her mother's,
Patricia Paola, everyone calls her Nona, the name by which she also
signs her works. When she was in her first steps, she used to talk
little, hardly anything. "All she could say was the monosyllable,
sharp, 'no'. Turning this negative into her child's pet word, earning
her peculiar nickname Nonito among her family. When she got older, the
nickname became Nona.
