Sis homes
(Six Men) A man who suffers a heart attack, a man who fasts, a man who wants to kill another, a man who speaks to the elderly, a man who collects papers and another who watches them: 6 protagonists from other stories talk to us about aging, of piety, of friendship, of literature and of death with a disbelieving and ironic voice. The stories in Sis homes, written with precise and refined prose, invite the reader to put themselves in the shoes of a poetry dabbler in order to savour the characteristic “Fonalleras tone” and extract all its richness.

«Josep Maria Fonalleras’ narrative is based on the eloquent silences that come from the tense hidden stories loitering behind the visible facade, a camouflage strategy that can be detected from the titles.» Ponç Puigdevall
«Re-reading it provokes the same joy in me today at the reunion with an old literary friend that I feel revisiting the stories of Cortázar, Martínez Ferrando, Monterroso or Rodoreda. For me, Fonalleras is, above all, a style, a way: I continue to see him as one of the best stylists of our prose.» Jaume Subirana
