Praise for Víctor Català "The novel's folk tales, with their scent of cruelty, linger in the mind, as do the icy, unforgiving vistas below . . . It's this sense of place that gives
Solitude its power."
–New York Times "The seamless translation faithfully illuminates the lucid, brilliant prose of this Catalan author."
–Publishers Weekly on Solitude "I swallowed the words as if swallowing the mighty, varied, inextinguishable sound of a solo like Duke Ellington's; and on every page I was tempted to stop, to laugh heartily with all my throat and clap. I had never read anything in Catalan that made me so euphoric."
–Maria Bohigas "From a perfectly assumed cultural position, with a clear literary consciousness and challenging boldness (the dignification of popular cultural consumption), Víctor Català offers us a mature work, which in his time could not be appreciated."
–Lluís Busquets, Diari de Girona
