Julián Granado

Julián Granado was born in Nerva (a Spanish mining town near Huelva) in 1957. He currently lives in Seville and combines his strong literary vocation with his work as a doctor. He has published the novels La pavana de Sieberg and Mendizábal, el caballero Neto. He is also the author of a number of short stories, for which he received the Premio Barro del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla and the Premio Relatos Cortos Ciudad de Isla Cristina. Perhaps because he was born in a mining area, he loves to go to the depths of history. And the results of these explorations have been his splendid novels, fantasies of light and shadows that shine a light on the labyrinth of the past without any historicist complexes.  Granados’ books are re-inventions of the past constructed with a notable control of the art of writing and a healthy iconoclasm present throughout all the author’s writing.
