Punti earned a degree in Romance Philology in 1991, and has since worked for various publishers (Edicions 62, Quaderns Crema, Columna Edicions) across various media (El País, El Periódico de Catalunya) His career as an author began with the publication of two books of short stories: Pell d'Armadillo (1988, winner of the Premi de la Crítica Serra d'Or), and Animals tristos (2002). Previously, he had translated the works of other authors, including Paul Auster, Daniel Pennac, and Amélie Nothomb. In 2006, Punti served as editor of Quadern, a literary supplement published by the newspaper El País.

In 2010, Puntí published Maletes perdudes, which received several awards (Crítica de la narrativa catalana, Lletra d'Or, Premi Llibreter) and has been translated to 16 languages. In 2011, he published Els Castellans, a volume that includes articles previously published in the Catalan magazine L'Avenç.
