Cahner was born in Bad Godesberg, now a municipal district of Bonn, Germany, to a Jewish-Catalan father and a Catalan mother who had left during the Spanish Civil War. The Cahner family moved to Galicia in 1937 to avoid persecution from the rise of National Socialism,[1] and then to Barcelona in 1939.[1] He enrolled at the University of Barcelona in 1952 studying chemistry.[2]
Via Ramon Bastardes, Cahner was introduced to and began working on Serra d'Or, an influential Catalan magazine published by Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey. In 1964, he was expelled from Francoist Spain for his Catalan nationalist activity.[2] From exile he continued he work on Catalan literature.[1]
In 1986, Cahner joined the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia, where he led the party's cultural work, and was elected as an MP in the 1988 elections.[1]
