Jardins secrets

Secret gardens. 99 books to re-read includes a selection of the reviews that Ponç Puigdevall has been publishing in the press since 1991 until today, the vast majority corrected and renewed in the same way that the passage of time corrects and renews everyone, and aims to defend the beauty of one of the infinite itineraries that can be traced on the map of the Catalan narrative of the last thirty years. "In the choice of titles, it is inevitable to notice some gaps that can be considered glaring, but the most serious absences are explained by the fact that I let myself be carried away by the criteria of my particular taste -these are books that I liked and that they admit, I think, the proof of rereading- with the hope that a taste ceases to be arbitrary not when it is considered correct -and who can decide that?- but when it is argued with the maximum accuracy possible", writes Puigdevall.
