Francisco Casavella

    October 15, 1963 – December 17, 2008

    Francisco Casavella, born Francisco García Hortelano, quickly adopted a pseudonym to distinguish himself from a more established author with the same surname. His literary identity became strongly linked to his evocative depictions of Barcelona's gritty underbelly, a theme that permeated his work. Casavella skillfully blended sharp social and political commentary with a picaresque sensibility, often grounding his narratives in historical context. His unique voice, characterized by wit and a keen eye for societal dynamics, explored themes of ambition and societal transition, leaving a significant mark on literature.
