Josep M. Quintana

Josep M. Quintana (Alaior, Menorca, 1950) has a Law Degree and a PhD in Catalan Philology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He has always combined essay writing with literary creation, and notable among his adventure novels are Els Nikolaidis and Els herois de la nit, both set in the imaginary world of the island of Pregonda. Among his more reflective writing, special mention should be made to Les revolucions perdudes and Ningú pot enganyar els morts, Premi Ciutat de Palma 2011. In Els Clark, Quintana goes back to the saga of the Nikolaidis in the early twenties and in his last novel, La noia que va sortir d'un quadre of Botticelli, the author returns to his favorite places as a writer: Paris, the opera and his homeland, Menorca.
