In 'Jo soc aquell que va matar Franco', Joan-Lluís Lluís introduces us to Agustí Vilamat, a character who claims to have killed Franco. Born in 1916 in a modest house in Solsona, Agustí is a prudent and contemplative child who loses an eye in an accident. His fondness for reading and the secrets of language lead him to Barcelona as a language corrector, just before the outbreak of the war.
The novel poses a war that does not end in 1939, since Franco, yielding to Hitler's pressures, declares war on the Allies and crosses the Pyrenees. The first warlike action of the Francoist army in France is to bomb the Argelers camp, where Agustí is. What will the young dictionary lover do then?
Joan-Lluís Lluís is a Catalan writer. His works include five novels and a collection of essays entitled Conversa amb el meu gos sobre França i els francesos. This last work, which Lluís himself describes as a pamphlet, focuses on the precarious linguistic situation of the Catalans under French administration.
