Esther Tusquets (30 August 1936 – 23 July 2012) was a Spanish publisher, novelist and essayist.
Tusquets was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. She studied philosophy, literature and history at the University of Barcelona. She spent several years teaching literature and history at the Carillo Academy.[1] She was the director of the publishing house Lumen in Barcelona.
Tuquets published her first novel El mismo mar de todos los veranos (The Same Sea as Every Summer) in 1978. It was the first in a trilogy and was followed by El amor es un juego solitario (Love is a Solitary Game) in 1979 and Varada tras el último naufragio (Stranded) in 1980.
