He studied at the Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades and later studied for the Medicine and Surgery degree at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
By natural inclination an autodidact, he cites Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud and Lacan as major influences. In 1985, he published a book of stories and poems under the title Muñeca haz favor de quitarte el sostén ('Doll, Do Me a Favor and Take off Your Bra'), which was adapted for theater by Cuitláhuac Pascual (director of the group Hombres Gacela).
His highly successful novel De a perrito (now appearing in English translation as Doggie Style) was first published in 1986 by Federación Editorial Mexicana (FEM) and subsequently republished by Fontamara in 1998. The next volume to appear consisted of a collection of two short novels, eleven stories and over fifty poems, published by Grijalbo in 1988 under the title Diario de un pend*** ('Diary of an A**h*le'). With Los niños bien ('The Rich Kids'), published by Fontamara in 1997, Nachón announced the advent of a new style, which he termed 'caveman science-fiction'.
He was involved for two years with the periodical Unomásuno's cultural supplement Sábado, and has contributed to various magazines.
He is listed as an author in the Diccionario Nacional de Escritores, published by UNAM's Department of Philological Studies.vizualizați mai puține
