The solid, versatile and successful literary journey of Ramon Solsona (Barcelona, 1950) has been recognized this year with the 30th Trajectòria award from the Setmana del Llibre en Català, which will be held at the Passeig Lluís Companys in Barcelona from September 18 to 27. The author of Les hores detingudes (Quaderns Crema, 1993), L'home de la maleta (Proa, 2011) and Allò que va passar a Cardós (Proa, 2016) will collect the award and take stock of his creative life in one of the central events of the fair and literary festival on September 23, at 7 p.m.

Just over five years ago, Andreu Martín left Barcelona, ​​the city he had lived in since his birth in 1949, and settled in Sant Cugat del Vallès. Not even the idyllic calm of the street where he lives with his wife—the young neighbor downstairs "plays the piano like an angel," he assures—has managed to slow his creative pace. "There isn't a year that goes by that I don't publish a book," he admits. "If you want to make a living from writing and you haven't written a book, best-seller, you have to know something: you'll have to work hard."
