Edited by Zoe Turner & Manel Ollé

Featuring Borja Bagunyà, Carlota Gurt, Empar Moliner, Jordi Nopca, Marta Orriols, Jordi Puntí, Llucia Ramis, Francesc Serés, Gonzalo Torné & Carlos Zanón

From the boy who won't stop growing in the working-class Guineueta neighbourhood on the outskirts of Barcelona, to the woman returning to Barcelona after living for some years in London, this anthology explores the city of Barcelona from a myriad of perspectives. 

 

In this new addition to Comma's Reading the City series, ten stories about Barcelona by ten of its most prominent authors are translated from both Catalan and Spanish into English for the first time.
