[FONT=verdana,geneva]I highly recommend this Spanish author: Juan Manuel de Prada (1970). He has been compared stylistically with Ramón Gómez de la Serna, with whom he shares a taste for subtle irony, and also been categorized among a group of young writers. De Prada, however, has sought to avoid being pigeonholed, defining his style as "barroque, tortured and tactiturn". He has won numerous awards for his novels, including the 1997 Planeta Prize, 2003 Primavera Prize and 2007 Biblioteca Breve Prize. I had the opportunity to talk to him several times. Apart from his talent, he is a GRATEFUL and SERIOUS person.
