Who had the opportunity to see the monologue performed at the Gaudí Theatre titled Things You Only Know When You're Dead, already knows all too well who Irene Polo (Barcelona, 1908 - Buenos Aires, 1942) is, the most daring journalist of Second Republic Catalonia and one of the key figures of that generation of intellectuals who brought a renewed perspective to both the press and literature. It so happens that Francesc Salgado, author of the monologue, is also publishing his complete journalism at Renacimiento and we already have the first volume, An Intruder in the Press. Journalism and Republic (1927-1931).
