Luis Antonio de Villena

Luis Antonio de Villena García (Madrid, 31 de octubre de 1951) es un poeta, narrador, ensayista, crítico literario y traductor español, habitualmente clasificado en el grupo conocido como novísimos o venecianos dentro de las corrientes —generación del 70— de la poesía española contemporánea.

Su lírica y prosa, sensible al pasado cultural y a la contemporaneidad, su postura estética, cercana al movimiento dandi, se resume en un epicureísmo homoerótico que asume tradiciones culturalistas y decadentes; se percibe una cierta tendencia en su obra, centrada cada vez más en el fracaso y la marginación, aunque en su abundante obra lírica son abundantes los cambios de perspectiva —por ejemplo desde los varios sonetos de «Desequilibrios» a los renova

Pedro Lemebel

Jaime Gil de Biedma

Nacido en 1929 en el seno de una familia de la alta burguesía castellana, su padre se trasladó a Barcelona para trabajar en la Compañía de Tabacos de Filipinas. El que fuera su despacho puede ser visitado hoy en día en el Hotel 1898 en La Rambla de Barcelona.

Gil de Biedma estudió Derecho en Barcelona y en Salamanca, donde obtuvo la licenciatura en dicha materia. Su poesía evoluciona desde los primeros poemas intimistas de Las afueras al compromiso social de Compañeros de viaje. Al mismo tiempo es una poesía que evita constantemente el surrealismo y busca la contemporaneidad y la racionalidad a toda costa a través de un lenguaje coloquial, si bien desnudo de toda referencia innecesaria. Verdadero exponente de lo que se suele denominar una do

Manu Carbajo

Nací un caluroso mes de agosto de 1989 en Madrid. No me preguntes por qué, pero cuando vi con siete años la película de Twister, decidí que quería ser caza-tornados. Ya ves que desde el 97 hasta hoy las cosas han cambiado un poco, pero hay algo que sigue igual que en aquel entonces: mi imaginación y las ganas de contar historias al mundo entero.

En el 2012 me gradué en Comunicación Audiovisual y fueron en aquellos maravilloso años universitarios donde empecé a desarrollar mi faceta como cineasta. Empecé a escribir guiones y rodar cortos, pero no fue hasta el 2013 cuando me animé a escribir mi primera novela.

Así, en 2015 vio la luz Electro (Edebé), la primera parte de una trilogía distópica que escribí junto a Javier Ruescas. Después me animé
