El món en suspens

The best of Àlex Susanna's work is to be found in the diaries. From the first -Quadern venecià- to the last -Paisatge amb figures- Susanna has sought and found a way to share her life and intellectual experience in a conversational and stimulating tone that appeals directly to the reader. In the notes of El món en suspens we find his great themes: plastic arts, literature, the landscape and friends. But the events that upset the year 2020 modify his activity and his gaze, which becomes more leisurely and profound. As in Marià Manent's legendary diary, El vel de Maia, the experience of its placid natural environment contrasts with the echoes of a bewildered world.
