Alejandro Nicolás Carrascosa Saavedra (April 2, 1901 – disappeared September 1922) was a male Argentine poet, writer, and student.
Though born into poverty, Alejandro was descended from a line of wealthy land owners and soldiers.
It is believed that he disappeared in search of a lost family fortune.
Alejandro is best known for his posthumously published story "The Unfortunate Son", though some theories hold that the story was only published under Carrascosa's name, and was actually written by Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges.
