Contemporary Catalan Literature: Jaume Cabre´s Winter Journey February 17, 2010

Jaume Cabré is a novelist, essayist, screenwriter, playwright, and philologist. Winter Journey is a highly original collection of short stories where the reader encounters disparate and often desperate characters who challenge notions about will, morality, and “the riddle of existence.” This edition represents the first translation of Cabré’s work into English. Richly allusive with its themes and motifs of music and art, Winter Journey will continue to provoke questions long after the reader has closed the book.
