Born in Chile, he spent his early years in Encino, California, before moving back to South America with his family when he was eleven years old. It was only then that he learned to speak Spanish, which he has since adopted as his primary language. He began writing in Spanish and published three novels before returning to the United States to take part in the writers' program at the University of Iowa. There, he disappointed his teachers by producing stories that seemed as if they could have been written by an American writer. As an affluent Chilean raised in an urban environment, Fuguet did not feel comfortable trying to produce the stories about migrant workers, political refugees, or barrio violence that he felt were expected of him.

His first novel published in the United States , Mala onda translated as Bad Vibes , was a far cry from the jungle backdrops and fantastic happenings common to many South American writers' work. Instead, he chronicled something called McOndo , a South American world that included McDonald's, condominiums, cable television , and the Internet. Bad Vibes has been characterized as a s, Latin American version of J. Salinger's classic Catcher in the Rye. Indeed, Fuguet's protagonist, seventeen-year-old Matias Vicunas, has read Salinger's book and openly identifies with Holden Caulfield, its narrator.

He is bored with his comfortable life in middle-class Santiago.

Alberto Fuguet

Feeling jaded, he wishes for innocence but in fact, his life is filled with drugs and sex—even his father shares cocaine and prostitutes with him. A critic for Kirkus Reviews said that Fuguet's portrayal of Chile in the s is reinforced by a "time-warping soundtrack,… slangy translation,… [and] cool pop references…. Here is what the new economic prosperity engenders culturally, he implies, and thank goodness we have such a clever novelist to guide us.
