«Retrat de Carme en penombra» is a novel by Agustí Alcoberro Pericay, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Carme, a divorced high-school teacher in her late thirties, during a teachers' strike. It alternates introspective portraiture and philosophical reflection to take stock of the generation that came of age in the anti-Franco struggle, addressing loneliness, violence, power, tenderness and fidelity in two registers: cold and notarial, subjective and passionate.
The work won the Premi Sant Jordi for fiction in 1988 and belongs to the El Balancí collection of Edicions 62, where it is number 219.
For readers of literary fiction in Catalan with an interest in psychological portraiture and the memory of the anti-Franco struggle.
