John Chappell writes that “Only [Rafael Ramos] could somehow establish a comparison between a 1930s realist painter and the Iraq war.” What, Barcelona’s leading illiterate plagiarist with an original idea?

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 9 de febrer de 1919 Diumenge. Matí de petites volves d’aigua glaçada. Un cel com esmerilat. Fredor insidiosa i desagradable. Havia d’haver anat a començar d’aprendre la instrucció militar a l’Acadèmia de les Drassanes. No hi he anat.
