G. Sanchez moved to the UK to study English Literature at the age of twenty-seven, where he has lived ever since, with interludes in New Zealand (2004), India (2005-2008) and, more recently, Japan (2014-2016). He took BA, MA and PhD degrees at the University of Leeds, completing his studies in 2004 with a thesis exploring perceptions of ‘hispanicity’ in Elizabethan and Jacobean literature. His first publication was <em>Rock Black: Ten Gibraltarian Stories</em>, a collection of short narratives. Since then he has written three novels on Gibraltar – <em>The Escape Artist, Solitude House and Jonathan Gallardo</em> – as well as numerous stories and essays. His latest work, <em>Past: A Memoir</em>, was published in October 2016, and explores his own family history on the Rock.</p> ER -
