The section begins with a handful of seniors: Quim Monzo, Maria Barbal and Merce Ibarz (who could also have been accompanied by Jaume Cabre, Biel Mesquida, Baltasar Porcel, Carme Riera or Emili Teixidor), and continues--in chronological order of the authors' dates of birth--with a dozen writers under the age of fifty in whose hands, I am convinced, lies the future of the genre in the Catalan language.

The protagonist of Maria Barbal's "Un nom estrany" (Strange Name) is a homeless man whose limited grasp on reality causes him to miss an opportunity to change his life; in Merce Ibarz's evocative "D'aquest costat del claustre" (From this Side of the Cloister) the disappearance of the protagonist's imaginary friend is conveyed with great delicacy; Imma Monso's "La finestra" (The Window) subverts narrative convention by describing corresponding desires that appear destined for common resolution, yet never intersect.
