Joaquín Berges was born in Zaragoza in 1965. He has a degree in Spanish Language and
Literature from his city’s university. He has worked on the production of
popular science programs for television and has developed a career in the
commercial department of an important Spanish company. He claims that El club de los estrellados
brings together two of his passions: astronomy and the music of Bach, but the
reader will quickly discover that this first novel – surprising and lively –
reveals a natural-born storyteller who is capable of interweaving all kinds of
events while alternating the comical, the pathetic and the deeply moving, as
can only be done by the best narrators.
