H. G. "Hache" Carrillo (born Herman Glenn Carroll; April 27, 1960 – April 20, 2020) was an American writer and Assistant Professor of English at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. In the 1990s, he began writing as "H. G. Carrillo", and he eventually adopted that identity in his private life as well. Carroll constructed a false claim that he was a Cuban immigrant who had left Cuba with his family at the age of seven; in fact, he was an African-American. Carroll wrote frequently about the Cuban immigrant experience in the United States, including in his only novel, Loosing My Espanish (2004).
