Ramírez is active in literature and politics since the Sixties. By the end of the Seventies, he had founded the ,group 12‘, a coalition of intellectuals, which diplomatically flanked the military actions of ,Frente Sandinista‘. His special interest is in the phenomenon of dictatorship and the social structures that enable it. In 2004 his collection of stories Forgive and Forget was published, and most recently The Divine Punishment (2012) appeared in cooperation with Thomas Brovot.
