«Sayonara Barcelona» is the contemporary fiction novel by Joaquim Pijoan, published by Proa in hardback (240 pages, in Catalan).
After twenty-five years in Japan, the protagonist returns to Barcelona and discovers a city different from the one he left. The return leads him to seek his past and try to repair broken bonds. The novel contrasts the fascination with Japanese culture, criticism of Barcelona's tourist image, and reflection on Catalan identity.
The work, published in February 2007 in the Òssa Major collection, won the Premi Sant Jordi de novel·la 2006.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in memory, cultural identity, and the contrast between Japan and Catalonia.
