"These are the reflections of an uprooted person who shares with some readers, those of his fifth, a childhood and an adolescence in a Catalonia that no longer exists or that exists unconsciously incorporated --in inherited habits, into involuntary reflections. , in unexplained apriorisms and ultimately in cultural memory, that is, imagined -- in the lives of later generations, for whom that past that still marries me is already a foreign country. Over the years I have been linked to memory and fascination with its destiny, and although it cannot be said objectively that I look at Catalan reality with foreign eyes, it can be said that I look at it with strange eyes. so,that these articles might seem out of focus with respect to the reality seen up close, which, while not the only way to see it, is the only way to live it.
