«La gran novela sobre Barcelona» is the short story collection by Sergi Pàmies, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Fifteen stories turn Barcelona into both setting and protagonist of a journey through fear, loneliness and death, treated with the irony and tenderness characteristic of Sergi Pàmies. The fragmented city fuels a narrative that examines the cracks in everyday life and was recognised with the Premi de la Crítica Serra d'Or.
Work translated from Catalan by Javier Cercas and originally published as «La gran novel·la sobre Barcelona». Belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 253).
Suitable for readers of contemporary short fiction seeking urban stories with humour and sensitivity.
