Jordi Masó (Granollers, 1967) combines his work as a professor at the Catalonia Higher Music School and the Granollers Conservatory with that of a writer. Without being as prolific as in his role as a pianist —he has recorded more than sixty albums—, he has published up to seven collections of short stories and, at Males Herbes publishing house, the novels L’hivern a Corfú (2020) and Xacona (2023), with which he won the Llibreter Prize. He now adds to his bibliography a new collection of short stories, also at Males Herbes, titled Jo això ja no ho veuré. It brings together nine stories with unconventional writing techniques (two of them written in the manner of dramatis personae and acknowledgements, so that the reader can get an idea). What unites them is the theme: they are set in oppressive or catastrophic near futures. The author himself confesses that the alternative title for the volume was Artefactes distòpics.
