La intrusa

The Intruder | L’Altra, 2025

Encouraged by the opinions of friends and family—and driven by the desire to fix a certain physical blur that hints at deeper internal inconsistencies—Diana embarks on a journey into her own inner world. Why not? Tighten a few loose screws, repair the faulty mechanisms, and emerge refreshed, renewed, and polished.

But far from being an easy trip, her odyssey leads her through unexpected landscapes and encounters with the most improbable creatures—bureaucrats, tourists, guards, even an angel! She must dodge chases, endure mockery, and walk countless miles to reach her goal. Once she realizes that her inner world is an abominable, at times hostile, place, she must find a way to escape herself in one piece.
With sharp irony and a fresh, original prose full of humor, Pujadas contrasts half-transcendental, half-therapeutic expectations with a reality that is both absurd and barren, offering a unique take on autobiographical literature.

PRESS

«The author shapes structure and style to serve the humor and lightness with which she conveys each idea. She writes playfully, and you can tell she enjoys it.» Carlota Rubio, Núvol
