Toni García Peralta has written some six hundred television sketches for various producers in Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona. For this reason, the author of The Sketch now finds it difficult to imagine the last 12 numbers of Pi and he walks ­backwards. Before becoming a scriptwriter, the author worked in advertising, engineering an d in offices. He now works as a tightrope walker. He makes daily contributions to his satirical blog Rokambol and manages to remain safe from reason because he knows how to ride a bicycle whilst keeping an absolutely blank mind.
