Disappeared prematurely at the age of 65, due to covid, the journalist Toni Coromina, "restless and traveler, hippy of the first flight, was one of the most visible figures of the youth counterculture that in the 1970s wanted to shake the conservative society of Vic ". Circumstantial musician, very close to Quimi Portet, wrote El que la sigue la persegue. Tolerated biography of El Último de la Fila. For years he collaborated in La Vanguardia, first in the political satire supplement El Burladero, which was coordinated by Jaume Collell, then in the strips of puppeteer Ventura, and finally with a column in the "Viure" section. The book brings together twenty-three of his articles, published between 2011 and 2020 in La Vanguardia, La Resistència and Nació Digital, which reflect "a view of the world learned over years of enjoying going against the grain".
