Carlos Pardo*

Carlos Pardo was born in Madrid in 1975. Ever since publishing his first book when he was only nineteen, he has been considered one of the most accomplished poets of his generation. Among his poetic publications, all brief and demanding, Echado a perder (2006, winner of the Generación del 27 Award) and Los allanadores (2015, winner of the Ojo Crítico Prize in 2016) stand out. In 2011, he published his first novel under Periférica, Vida de Pablo, with which he began a narrative cycle continued in 2014 with El viaje a pie de Johann Sebastian. Both novels had excellent reception, and Lejos de Kakania is the resounding culmination of this critical revisiting of the coming-of-age novel, an investigation of the capacity of literature to represent life's experiences. He is currently a literary critic for fiction at the cultural supplement Babelia.
