«Fra Junoy o l'agonia dels sons» is the novel by Jaume Cabré, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (272 pages, in Catalan).
Fra Junoy, an organist relegated to confessor in a monastery of cloistered nuns, is accused of heresy, vice and corruption for opposing the punishment imposed on two novices. His passion for music, a personal and creative refuge, becomes one of his crimes; the intolerance of the ecclesiastical hierarchy does not forgive his independence of judgment.
Second installment of the Feixes series and number 158 of the El Balancí collection. Prudenci Bertrana Prize 1983, Catalan Narrative Critics' Prize 1984 and Serra d'Or Critics' Prize for Novel 1985.
Work for readers of contemporary Catalan narrative interested in conflicts between individual faith and religious authority.
Jaume Cabré i Fabré is a Catalan philologist, novelist and screenwriter. He was one of the founders of the Catalan literary collective, Ofèlia Dracs.
