El universo o nada es una biografía escrita por Elena Poniatowska sobre su esposo, el astrónomo Guillermo Haro. El libro narra la vida de Haro desde su infancia y su pasión por las estrellas, hasta su carrera como astrónomo y su contribución a la ciencia en México. Poniatowska describe a Haro como un hombre apasionado, revolucionario y comprometido con la educación de los jóvenes. La biografía también ofrece una visión de la historia de México en el siglo XX, un siglo de cambios políticos en el que Haro luchó por desarrollar su vocación científica.
Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor, known professionally as Elena Poniatowska, is a French-born Mexican journalist and author, specializing in works on social and political issues focused on those considered disenfranchised, especially women and the poor. She was born in Paris to upper-class parents. Her mother's family fled Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. She left France for Mexico when she was ten to escape World War II. When she was 18, she began writing for the newspaper Excélsior, doing interviews and society columns. Despite the lack of opportunity for women from the 1950s to the 1970s, she wrote about social and political issues in newspapers and both fiction and nonfiction books. Her best-known work is La noche de Tlatelolco: Testimonios de historia oral, about the repression of the 1968 student protests in Mexico City. Due to her left-wing views, she has been nicknamed "the Red Princess". She is considered "Mexico's grande dame of letters" and is still an active writer.
