Translation Rights TQE / Authors / Miñana, Juan

Juan Miñana was born in Barcelona in 1959. He became known in literary circles through the publication of a book of poems in Catalan, Vespre de festa (Night Festivity) in 1979. His first novel, La claque (The Claque), a satire on a school for audience animators, made a reasonable impression on the critics, but his reputation as a novelist was not established until the publication of El jaquemart (The Jaquemart)in 1991. He also has a collection of short stories, Última sopa de rabo en la tertulia España (Last Tail Soup in the Spain Gathering), written in 1992, and in 1996 he published La playa de Pekin (The Beach of Pekin), his third novel, which received a unanimously warm welcome and which we wish to add to our catalogue soon.
