«El balneari» is the novel by Joan Garí, published in 2013 by Tres i Quatre in paperback (210 pages, in Catalan).
A recently divorced writer withdraws to a mountain village with medicinal waters, where he works as a ghostwriter for a peculiar editor and befriends a forward-thinking priest who clashes with his bishop. It is the era of Benedict XVI after John Paul II; that friendship evokes The Magic Mountain, and love fades like a mirage.
For readers who enjoy the contemporary Catalan novel with an ecclesiastical backdrop and nods to Thomas Mann.
