Gray Notebook - Pla Josep
Josep Pla's masterpiece, The Gray Notebook, is one of the most colorful and unusual works in modern literature. Aspiring to be a writer, not a lawyer, he resolved to hone his style by keeping a journal. In 1918, when Pla was in Barcelona studying law, the Spanish flu broke out, the university shut down, and he went home to his parents in coastal Palafrugell.
Returning to Barcelona to complete his studies, Pla kept up his diary, scrutinizing life in the big city with the same unflagging zest and humor.Pla, one of the great Catalan writers, held on to this youthful journal for close to fifty years, reworking and adding to In it he wrote about his family, local characters, visits to caf s; the quips, quarrels, ambitions, and amours of his friends; writers he liked and writers he didn't; and the long contemplative walks he would take in the countryside under magnificent skies.
