Gabi Martínez

Gabi Martínez (Barcelona 1972) is a writer. His novel 'SUDD' was chosen by the magazine Qué Leer and El Periódico's literary supplement as one of the best books of 2007, along with authors such as Cormac McCarthy, Jonathan Littell and Javier Marías. 'Hora en Times Square' and 'Atico' were critically acclaimed, placing Martínez among the great innovators of Spanish literature. As a travel writer ('Solo Marroquí' and 'Anticreta') he is among the most outstanding of this genre, while with 'Diablo de Tamanfaya' he sparked huge cultural and political controversy. His book 'Una España inesperada' became the new benchmark of Spanish literary journalism, and 'Los mares de Wang', a journey along the coast of China, was voted number 1 by the travel magazine Condé Nast. His latest title, 'Sólo para gigantes', will soon be published by Alfaguara.
