Biography
editHe was born on January 3, 1871, in Seville.[1][2] He participated in the Spanish fin-de-siècle bohemian scene,[3] attending the literary gatherings at the Café de Madrid.[4] He was an editor for the Madrid newspapers El País, El Progreso (1898), and El Heraldo de Madrid.[5] He also contributed to La Ilustración Española, El Gato Negro, Electra, La Correspondencia de España,[5] La Vida Literaria,[6] El Liberal,[3] and Sol y Sombra.[7] He was also a playwright,[5]and wrote works such as Jilguero chico (1901).[8] He died young,[9] on November 28, 1902.[5] He frequently used the pseudonym "Flirt",[5] at least according to Eugenio Hartzenbusch e Hiriart (Maxiriart) in El País.[10]
Luna was hunchbacked and had suffered from a chronic illness since adolescence; Pérez Nieva described him physically as "small, disproportionate, with long arms, a complete hunchback".[11]
