Pablo Soler Frost (born October 7, 1965) is a Mexican novelist, essayist, translator, playwright, short-story and screen writer. A polyglot (he speaks fluently Spanish, German, English, French and Catalan), he has translated into Spanish several works and poems by Shakespeare, Walpole, Walter Scott, Shelley, John Henry Newman, Joseph Conrad, Robert Frost, Rainer M. Rilke, Theodor Daübler and Joanna Walsh.
He was awarded the 1987 National Youth Prize granted by Mexican government, and the 2009 Colima Narrative Prize from the National Insititute of Fine Artes (Mexico). He has been a member of the National Artists System of Mexico.
His literary contributions to world-renowned artists such as the like of Gabriel Orozco and Anish Kapoor are well known.
Pablo Soler Frost was born in Mexico City. He is the first son of Martí Soler and Elsa Cecilia Frost, both known as translators and scholars. As a child, he was a collector, which might explain the many interests portrayed in his writings from insects and fossils to legends of the silver screen. Very early he was briefly encouraged by Isaac Asimov; other writers with whom he corresponded were Ernst Jünger and Álvaro Mutis, but his true mentors were the Mexican writers Salvador Elizondo and Hugo Hiriart.
