Catalan literature received a healthy dose of self-esteem yesterday, which will carry it proudly at least until Sant Jordi's Day. The Night of Catalan Letters brought together a large institutional contingent at the National Museum of Catalonia—including the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa; the Mayor of Barcelona, ​​Jaume Collboni; and former President Jordi Pujol, among many others, and the absence of the PP, Vox, and Aliança Catalana parties—as well as representatives from the publishing sector, from major groups (Planeta, Penguin Random House, and Abacus Futur) and independent publishers such as L'Altra and La Segona Cultura. A successor to the Night of Saint Lucy, the gala was broadcast live on TV3, placing it, in terms of scale and scope, on par with the Gaudí Awards ceremony. The evening's deluge of accolades was largely theatrical and, above all, marked by a Mallorcan accent. One of the star awards of the gala, the Sant Jordi, went to Carles Rebassa (Palma, 1977) for Prometheus in a thousand waysThis is the second novel by the writer and poet, who in 2016 debuted in narrative with It was them (Angle) and in 2018 he already won Carles Riba of poetry with Dirty sounds"I'm delighted to have won these two prizes; it means participating in a tradition and giving it a place in the present and a hope for its continuation," Rebassa stated. The writer has a very long career and has received numerous awards, especially for his poetry, such as the Ausiàs March and Gabriel Ferrater prizes.
