Biography
Biography
He published his first novel at the age of 20, but it was not until 2007, after winning the Alfaguara Prize with his novel See How Much I Love You (in Spanish, Mira si yo te querré), that he began to devote himself entirely to literature. Another of his novels, Red Moon (in Spanish, La luna roja), published in Spain in 2009, is a gripping story between a writer and translator, set in Alicante, Berlin and Istanbul.
