Eduardo Mendoza

Eduardo Mendoza was born in Barcelona in 1943. He studied law and worked for a time as a lawyer, then left in 1973 for New York, where he was a translator at the United Nations. Back in Barcelona in the early eighties, he continued to earn his living as an interpreter for international organisations. His work follows two veins, novels of historical Barcelona and parodies of popular genres, including a series centred on a nameless detective.
