La vida perdurable de Salvador Duran

INFORMATION

Ciutat de Mollerussa Prize for a short novel, 2006

Once he realizes the dull existence that his life trajectory is leaving behind, Salvador Duran will seek to star in a feat that will catapult him towards notoriety and, from there, towards transcendence. This action will end up endangering his emotional integrity by subjecting him, alternately, to the most ridiculous situations, but also to the most dramatic. With a spontaneous and uninhibited language and an intense narrative rhythm, the author proposes a text full of humour and at the same time of reflection, in the constant tension between triviality and transcendence.
