In Spanish. First volume of the El Dia del Watusi trilogy. "Francisco Casavella was the pseudonym of Francisco Garcia Hortelano (15 October 1963 – 17 December 2008), a Spanish novelist. He never used his real name to sign his works, as his surname coincides with that of another novelist, Juan García Hortelano. [Casavella] began his literary career upon obtaining at 27 the Tigre Juan Award to the best unpublished novel with his work El triunfo [The triumph] (1990). [...]. In 2008 he won the Premio Nadal with the last novel he ever published, Lo que sé de los vampiros [What I know of vampires], a historical tragicomedy situated in 18th century Europe. It has been translated into different languages.He was the screenwriter of the movie Antártida [Antarctica] (1995), the film director Manuel Huerga's first work, and of the TV movie for the Catalan TV Dues dones [Two women] (1998, Enric Folch). He also wrote for the print media, e.g. for the newspaper El País, and for Co&Co' magazine. He died on 17 December 2008, at age 45, from a heart attack, only eleven months after winning the Premio Nadal" —Wikipedia
