Jordi Soler was born in La Portuguesa, a community of Catalan Republicans located in the jungle of Veracruz, Mexico. With the publication of Bocafloja (Grijalbo-México, 1988), Soler, famous for being a host of music and literature programs in two of the most acclaimed radio stations of Mexico City, became one of the most important literary voices of his generation. In México he has published books of poems, story collections, and the novels: La Corsaria (Grijalbo-México, 1996), Nueve Aquitania (Alfaguara, 1999) and La mujer que tenía los pies feos (Alfaguara, 2001).

After a time period as a cultural attaché at the Mexican Embassy in Dublin, he currently lives in Barcelona, where he has published Los rojos de ultramar (Alfaguara, 2004), La última hora del último día (RBA, 2007) and La fiesta del oso (Mondadori, 2009; Prix Littéraire des Jeunes Européens 2011), the trilogy that this author has dedicated to the effects of the Civil War on his family, who were obliged to emigrate to Mexico for their commitment to the Republic. These three titles are published by Mondadori in a single volume entitled La guerra perdida (2012).

After the publication of the novel Diles que son cadáveres (Mondadori, 2011) and the collection of non-fiction pieces Salvador Dalí y la más inquietante de las chicas yeyé (Mondadori, 2011), his latest published work is the novel Restos humanos (Mondadori, April 2013).
