Born in Barcelona in 1964, Carles is licensed in Sciences of Information. Over the last 25 years, he's alternated between the most insipid literature and the accomplishment of the most sordid television programs in all the Spanish networks. In 1996, he published Cruel World, a commercial success. He is currently editing his next poetry book, and dedicates his works to the future unknown generations. His other multidisciplinary activities remain in hidden desks or have been punished by the law.
