Year of publication: 2019

Valoración: Curious

May 18, 2018. Dani, Bea, Albert and Tamara begin a three -day confinement in a house in a village in Lleida. Its goal is to invoke a story that revolves around the witch hunt that ravaged the region in the past. To write it they must take turns on two laptops.

This is so much the premise of Bronwyn and the four -headed monster as the methodology that was used when giving birth to this brief artifact full of creativity, camadarer and bizarre that mixes fiction, self -fiction and metaliterature.

Also because it has a moderately original approach and structure, it houses several refreshing ideas in its eccentricity, it presents a very successful atmosphere, its characters experience some growth and contains potential images that oscillate between the fantastic of Tamara (closer to magical realism) and that of Albert (more bizarre and “splatter”).

The fact of having previously read to the four writers of Bronwyn and the four -headed monster (and even know some of them in person) may have contributed to this short experimental novel seduced me. And he recognized Dani and Albert’s voice in their respective chapters, or the author’s personality of Beatriz and Tamara in his. But do not think that a less familiar reader with the authors will contribute little, because it is running out. In addition, although the bizarre is attached, a rather minority genre, it is easy to follow its argument and characters, the dessert leaves the same satisfactory aftertaste that all collective and playful literature.
