Carlos Pardo was born in Madrid in 1975. Since his first book appeared at just nineteen, he is considered one of the most outstanding poets of his generation. Among his poetic work, brief and demanding, Echado a wasted (2006), Generación del 27 Award, and Los allanadores (2015), awarded the 2016 Critical Eye Award. In 2011 he published, with the Periférica label, his first novel , Pablo's Life, with which he began a narrative cycle continued in 2014 with The Journey on Foot by Johann Sebastian. Both novels received an excellent reception, and Far from Kakania emphatically culminates this critical rereading of the learning novel, an inquiry into the capacity of literature to account for life experiences. He is currently a literary critic of the narrative of the cultural supplement Babelia.
