He was born on September 10, 1963, in a place he prefers to forget. He spent a few years at university, without getting any benefit from it; he hid in a village in Galicia for a season, and did the same in the middle of the Gavarres mountains, until he realized that it made no difference to him whether he was in one place or another. Since then, he has only done four notable things: read, watch movies, waste time, and make a fool of himself. He has published the books Un silenci sec (1991), Era un secret (1998), and Albúm Galmei (2002), and has translated Javier Cercas's Soldados de Salamina into Catalan. He publishes a weekly review in the newspapers El Punt, since 1994, and El País, since 1998. Source: http://www.cccb.org/ca/participants/fitxa/ponc-puigdevall/22997
