Joan Perucho

[1] His work, written in Catalan and Spanish mix with other traditional elements of avant-garde and science fiction that endow great originality.

Published in English as Natural History in 1992 and later translated into a handful of other languages, and was included by Harold Bloom in The Western Canon.

[3] Beyond the literary work, Perucho created a fascinating character: erudite (but fond of mixing inventions with historical information), very ironic, passionate and exuberant.

He wrote about the landscapes of the south, about Mediterranean Catalonia and about the Spain of the Visigothic period and the Cortes of Cádiz.

[4] As for his poetic work, written entirely in Catalan, Perucho approached symbolist poetry, which he mixed with surrealist influences.
