Gabriel García-Badell

Gabriel García-Badell Lapetra (28 May 1936 – 11 March 1994) was a Spanish writer. He received a degree in law and is linked to Aragon, where he worked as a lawyer for the IRYDA (Institute of agricultural reform and development).

His first novel was "Las manos de mi padre", published in 1968, a monologue in which the protagonist returns to his paternal home after a 4 years voyage. "Self-portrait: My life, like that of the whole world, is a hollow space that has reserved me. A flash of light in the obscurity that precedes it and follows it. But she does not remain defined by what I have done till now. More fundamental it would be what I have wanted to do. Because of it, definitively, the important thing is what I want and do not want at this moment..... "

He was a four-time runner-up for the Premio Nadal, a record.
