«La Llengua» is the novel by Joan Guasp, published by Fundació Sa Nostra in paperback (248 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Tòful Xerra, a man whose tongue one day falls into a cup of hot coffee. From that unusual image, Guasp builds an ironic fable about the situation of Mallorca's own language and the linguistic and social tensions of the Balearic Islands, with metaphors and paradoxes that combine homage and denunciation.
The work appeared on 2 July 2007 in the collection «Tià de sa Real».
For readers interested in Catalan narrative and in stories that address, with irony, the language and identity of the Balearics.
