With a 45-year history of supporting Catalan literature, the BBVA Sant Joan Award—organized by the Fundació Antigues Caixes Catalanes with the support of BBVA—continues to recognize the most prominent and innovative voices on the literary scene and promote their talent globally. In the 2023 edition, the award went to Marta Marín-Dòmine, for a work that captivated the jury with her profound insight and unique literary style: 'Diré que me lo he inventado' (I'll Say I Made It Up). We spoke with the author about her career, her connection to the Catalan language, and what it means to receive an award with such a well-established history.
