José Narosky

José Narosky (born 20 April 1930 in Darregueira, Province of Buenos Aires) is an Argentine notary public and writer, mainly of aphorisms.

The son of immigrants (a Lithuanian father, Ukrainian mother), Narosky was born in 1930 in Darregueira, a rural area of the province of Buenos Aires. He has three siblings: Adelino (writer and humorist), Tito (ornithologist) and Lila. His interest in aphorisms began in childhood, through his father who wrote notes on the back of his cigarettes packets, which little Narosky collected.
