Julià Guillamon gathers texts that imitate, parody, and pay homage to the great names of Catalan letters, such as Josep Pla, Mercè Rodoreda, or Josep M. de Sagarra. The reader will discover how literary imitation has been a game of intelligence, a critical tool, and a display of admiration. It includes pieces published in historical magazines such as L'Esquella de la Torratxa and El Be Negre, as well as creations by contemporary authors such as Quim Monzó and Sergi Pàmies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces the history of Catalan literature through its apocryphal versions: texts written imitating the style of established authors, often with parodic or critical intent. The anthology spans from Cerverí de Girona to Montserrat Roig and Baltasar Porcel, as well as key figures such as Rosa M. Arquimbau. Many of these texts, by unknown authors, originally appeared in satirical publications such as L'Esquella de la Torratxa, Papitu, and El Be Negre. The work also includes apocrypha signed by contemporary authors such as Terenci Moix, Ramon Barnils, Quim Monzó, and Sergi Pàmies, and is completed by an apocryphal art gallery that gathers fake Nonells, Dalís, and Mirós.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary parody and critique of authority in the Catalan tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStylistic imitation as an intellectual game and exercise in admiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApocryphal and anonymous literature in 19th and 20th-century satirical magazines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between literary creation and intentional forgery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of Catalan literary history from a playful perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in Catalan literature, literary criticism, and cultural history.
