Terenci Moix

A Barcelona shaken by the turmoil of the seventies, welcomes the eruption onto the scene of the emblematic young writer, Lleonard Pler, a captivating enfant terrible who leaves in his wake many unsolvable mysteries. Was he a vulgar social climber consumed by cynical ambition? Or perhaps a victim of crisis within a culture, ruthless in its actions and even more cynical than him? With an incisive pen, sometimes bordering on cruelty, the author dissects the Catalan cultural world with unprecedented audacity.
