Joaquín Berges was born in Zaragoza in 1965. He has a degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Zaragoza. He started his career as a writer with El club de los estrellados (The Club of the Starred), a surprising first novel whose agility and freshness revealed a wonderful storyteller. It was awarded the prize for the Best Debut Novel written in Spanish in 2009 at the Festival du Premier Roman in Chambéry (France). His following novels, Vive como puedas (Live as You Can, 2011) – selected by FNAC bookshops as “new talent” and a tribute to the genre of classic screwball comedies brought to the present day – and Un estado del malestar (A State of Unrest, 2012), demonstrated his talent for comic novels.
