Here we have the beginning of the century, in a Barcelona that explains itself day by day with all the voices. Here we have all the contradictions, all the wishes, all the expectations of a twenty-year-old boy, learning everything. Here we have the life of an incipient artist with all his passion boiling over, for music, literature, painting and, without respite, friendship and sex. Here we have him, with his family, the summer town and the streets of the upper part of the city. Here we have a personality that gradually creates itself, that contrasts with its environment and wants to make it its own, to contribute its perspective. And here we have it, to make it ours. To love him, or to hate him. With La tela blanca (The Withe Canvas), his first book of fiction, Josep Torelló creates a peculiar character, rich in nuances and dark points, which we get to know from the notes in a diary. He uses all the resources so that we know who and what he is like: personal confession, aesthetic reflection, travel chronicles, the assessment of the capital and the town, sentimental adventures and, also, poetry.
