«Nitrato de Chile» is Jordi Llavina's first novel, published in paperback (171 pages, in Catalan).
In 1969, a Russian painter and a French writer arrive in a Catalan city, invited by a businessman and patron. Both are fleeing their pasts, though without fully succeeding. Their coexistence deepens their friendship and changes their conception of art; Marta's arrival brings happiness and anguish. It is a psychological and costumbrista narrative.
Originally published in 2001, it won the Premi Josep Pla that same year.
For readers of contemporary Catalan fiction and intimate novels with a historical backdrop.
Spanish writer, poet and art critic
