His penchant for reading and writing began very early and began writing two novels at age eleven, from then on was his uncle Louis, who introduced him to the love of American narrative.

His early novels, The Outskirts (1958), Biblioteca Breve Prize, and the same words (1962), are influenced by the realistic objectivism time, with special emphasis on dialogue, the absence of a central character and a dispersion characterized by structural and plurality of perspectives intertwined and overlapping actions. This structural complexity is compounded in tetralogy Antagonia known for some of the summits of the Spanish narrative of recent years, where the reader is immersed in an endless tangle of thoughts, feelings, stories and discursive sequences: Count (1973), kind of reflexive character generational autobiography, The green of May to Sea (1976), The Wrath of Achilles (1979) and Theory of Knowledge (1981). The group reviewed many facets of human life, combining narrative and discourse, looking particularly memories of childhood in a bourgeois society and the relationships and erotic, the author devotes particular attention to the writer's engagement with writing and the act of creation, including through the metaliteratura-in the third uses the mechanism of the novel within the novel.

Luis Goytisolo works occasionally in several newspapers, especially in the country, and has authored television documentary series:? Index and the Mediterranean.

From his earliest works that reflect their own social realist atmosphere prevailing then, Luis Goytisolo has continued to evolve into a more complex, multi-perspectival and simultaneous frames. And as the Catalan writer said: "Power tends today from the people exercised concurrently with the people and against the people."
