Rafael Navarro de Castro (Lorca, 1968) has a degree in Sociology and a diploma in Rural Extension and Development. Until he was ten years old, he lived on an agricultural training school run by his father, and he lived surrounded by fields of wheat, corn and animals. Later he moved to Madrid and worked in the audiovisual industry for fifteen years until, at the turn of the century, he decided to leave everything and settle in Monachil, a town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, where he has dedicated himself to traditional agriculture, managing waterways, raising laying hens and environmental activism. From the experiences of his first years in the town and the experiences with his neighbours emerged La tierra desnuda, his first novel, published in 2019, which is now in its fourth edition, with enthusiastic reviews from readers and the media. With one of the most interesting narrative voices of our time, after five years of writing he returns with Planeta invernadero, his second book.
