«La calle Estrecha» is the novel by Josep Pla, published by Austral in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Josep Pla recreates the peaceful life of an imaginary Catalan village through a newly arrived vet and Francisqueta, an interfering maid. Among the stories revealed are those of Montserrateta and her three boyfriends, the barber Señor Felip, the affair of Señora Maristany's mattress and the little dog Murillo, with the author's characteristic irony and lucidity.
Winner of the Joanot Martorell Prize in 1951, when it was originally published under the title «El carrer Estret».
