«Camí de sirga» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jesús Moncada, published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (260 pages, in Catalan).
«Camí de sirga» evokes the story of Mequinensa, an old town on the banks of the Ebro flooded by the Riba-roja reservoir, centre of an important mining basin and intense river traffic. Through the experiences and memories of several characters, Moncada recalls the last hundred years of a town condemned to disappear, with vivid language and historical precision.
Camí de sirga was originally published in 1988 and received, among others, the Premi Joan Crexells, the Premi de la Crítica de Narrativa Catalana and the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona, as well as the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or de Novel·la in 1989.
For readers of contemporary fiction in Catalan interested in the memory of vanished towns and the history of the Ebro basin.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
