Ricard Ustrell, Sense tu [Without you], 2017, 192 p.
Publisher’s summary:
A well-known radio host decides to abandon his work and life in Barcelona to got to Paris alone.
Nobody understands his behavior: before going he declined a job offer that he had desired for years and he left his mother, very sick, in a residency for the elderly. He is the only one who knows the motive for his reaction, and he wants it to stay like that, at least until it becomes inevitable. But on the streets of the French capital, he will regain hope and find the strength to face the future, whatever it may be.
This blogger finds that the publisher’s short summary hints at a quite foreseeable, emotion-laden novel, and he normally prefers “real” writers for novels instead of journalists writing fiction –Ustrell himself is a well-know radio host–, but Llucia Ramis mentioned it in her weekly column, so it might be interesting…
