Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (14 June 1939 in Barcelona – 18 October 2003 in Bangkok) was a prolific Spanish writer from Catalonia: journalist, novelist, poet, essayist, anthologue, prologist, humorist, critic and political prisoner as well as a gastronome and a FC Barcelona supporter. He began writing poetry in 1967. He is one of the Novísimos from Jose María Castellet. His poetic works until 1986 are collected in *Memoria y deseo (Memory and desire).* The same characteristic features of his poetry appear in his novels. *Los mares del Sur,* part of the Pepe Carvalho series, won the Planeta Award in 1979, bringing fame for both the writer and the fictional detective, who would later be portrayed in films, TV series and comic strips. In 1988, he wrote and published a children's book called, *Escenas de la literatura universal y retratos de grandes autores* (English version as "Scenes from World Literature and Portraits of Greatest Authors"). Other narrative works include narrative productions *Galíndez* (1991), winner of the National Narrative Award; *El estrangulador (The strangler)* (1994) and *Erec y Enide (Erec and Enide)* (2002). In 1992 he published *Autobiografía del general Franco,* which was awarded the 1994 international prize Premio Internacional de Literatura Ennio Flaiano. He also wrote non-literary works in Catalan, notably *L'art del menjar a Catalunya* (1977). For many years, he contributed columns and articles to the Madrid-based daily newspaper *El País.* He died in Bangkok, Thailand, while returning to his home country from a speaking tour of Australia. His last book, *La aznaridad,* was published posthumously.
