"Today is one of those days when it's quite a shock to have a full auditorium and see on screen the figures we are commemorating this year," said Eduard Escoffet, director of the Institution of Catalan Letters (ILC). "This year's commemorations honor three great names in Catalan literature: the poet Clementina Arderiu [Barcelona 1889-1976], whose name everyone knows, but who remains one of the great unknowns of our literature; the case of Blai Bonet [Santanyí, 1926-1997], about whom there are still many aspects we don't know, and Josep M. Castellet [Barcelona, ​​1926-2014], who did very important work as an editor." Fifty years after Arderiu's death. One hundred years after Bonet and Castellet's birth.
