Pintura del artista pintor Ernest Descals con paisajes tratados con salvaje sinceridad.

I have added English subtitles to this recipe video posted by the Jordi Pey (@/cuinateca on Instagram).

Arròs de muntanya (meaning "mountain rice" in Catalan) is one of the many rice recipes typical of Catalan cuisine. We say "mountain rice" to mean it uses ingredients from the land (mushrooms and rabbit are to be expected, it can also have other kinds of meat and vegetables) in opposition to "sea rice" recipes which have seafood and fish.

Catalan cuisine uses many wild mushrooms. Many different species can be used with rice dishes like this. In this case, they are using a mix of different dehydrated ones, so we can make this recipe outside of mushrooms season ☺️.

I hate the feeling when you've been using a language for a bit and suddenly it feels like you don't know how to say anything anymore even though it's definitely because you're pushing your limits and getting better

“canto jo i la muntanya balla” or the english translation “when i sing, the mountains dance” came into my life just like that.

the book spoke to me and i chose it. now after i finished it, i must admit i have to re-read it; simply to take in all those small details i overlooked. i found myself looking forward to knowing more, reading more and i was completely heartbroken and shocked to see that, at the end, the author prefered the open ending. i wished for me. i wanted more. i needed the closure between the characters and yes, it might have been implied but damn “how can you forgive me?” literally shattered me.

so many messages, so many sublimial ones that hit different once u understand them. this book is everything i wished for when i bought it. as a first time reader of Irene Sola, i was confused at first. the writing, the chapters, an organized chaos, but it did served its purpose. it was made to reflect us, people, and how our lives are so tangled and connected to one another.

“eu cant si muntele danseaza”/“canto jo i la muntanya balla” is just about that. how we do our little activities each day, how we live and die each day, in every household something happening at all times, and yet the mountain “dances”. it remains the same through time, the same year by year, in winter and summer, tall and majestic, housing animals, plants, forests and humans beings, all ever changing, yet the mountain minding its own business.

Confessar què? Si el riure era l’única cosa bona, era un coixí, era com menjar-se una pera, era com ficar els peus en un salt d’aigua un dia d’estiu. No haguera parat de riure ni per tot l’or del món, ni per tot el mal del món. El riure me va desenganxar dels braços i cames i mans que m’havien acompanyat tan fidelment fins aleshores, i de la pell que havia vestit i desvestit tantes vegades, i me va rentar el mal i la pena per les coses que et poden fer els homes.

¿Confesar? ¿Qué? Si la risa era lo único bueno, era un cojín, era como comerse una pera, era como meter los pies en un salto de agua un día de verano. No habría dejado de reírme ni por todo el oro del mundo ni por todos los males del mundo. La risa me libró de los brazos, piernas y manos que tan fielmente me habían acompañado hasta entonces, y de la piel que había cubierto y descubierto tantas veces, y me lavó las heridas y la tristeza de las cosas que te pueden hacer los hombres.

Hi! Don't feel obligated to answer, but I've been learning catalan & I'd love to read some novels originally written in catalan, but i'm having a bit of a hard time finding ones that aren't 'classics'. Any recs? (I usually like literary stuff, like, authors irritatingly showing their skill, i eat that shit up, but anything contemporary or psychological or fantasy or anything will absolutely do :,) )

Oop sorry, I hadn't seen the message until now.

You won't have difficulty about this because Catalan literature is very lively and there's lots of great books coming out very often. Catalan literature has been praised around the world for having such vitality and quality, considering that it's a relatively small language community.

Personally the first recommendation that came to mind is Manuel de Pedrolo but idk if you're considering that a classic? He's relatively recent but many 20th century authors have become classics. His Mecanoscrit del segon origen is definitely considered a classic even though it's only from 1974, but I don't think the other ones are usually. Anyway, I really like his sci-fi short stories book Trajecte final, and my dad has spent years obsessed with his theatre play Homes i no. Talking about theatre scrips, I have a really soft spot for La cançó de les balances by Josep Maria Carandell ❤️.

I'm not usually one to read many short stories books but I also recommend Albert Sánchez Piñol's Homenatge als caiguts (stories of about 2 pages long and usually funny, very entertaining to read).

For a completely different vibe of short stories, I also thought El Cafè de la Granota by Jesús Moncada was excellent, the characterization and events feel like hearing your grandparents telling stories of when they were young. I still haven't read his most famous novel Camí de sirga though, honestly I don't know what I'm waiting for lol.

Canto jo i la muntanya balla by Irene Solà has also been very popular in the past few years and she definitely shows off her literary prose. I found it very lovely and I recommend it for when you want something more experimental. It's a book where each chapter is narrated by someone or something different (a shepherd, the rain, a witch who was killed centuries ago, a deer, a dog...) and it's very well written, it has also won some international awards.

And listen for some reason I still haven't read them myself (I plan to change that soon) but the best contemporary author is probably Jaume Cabré. I've only heard the highest praise for his Les veus del Pamano, and other of his books like Jo confesso. I'm planning to finally read Les veus del Pamano this summer and I'm very excited for it.

Another one I've heard lots of praise for and which I'm excited to read (hopefully soon) is Les històries naturals by Joan Perucho. I wasn't going to include books I haven't read besides Cabré (because, let's face it, with a question like this one must include Jaume Cabré) but since you asked for literary fantasy I think you might like it. It's about a knight/botanist who looks for one of Jaume I's knights who is a vampire.

Others that I've had recommended but haven't had time to read yet: Junil a la terra dels bàrbars by Joan Lluís-Lluís, Nicolau by Antoni Veciana, Guilleries by Ferran Garcia, and lots of people have loved Eva Baltasar's Permagel, Boulder and Mamut though it doesn't seem like my style they seem interesting.

I don't know if any of my followers wants to share some more in the comments/reblogs, but I'd be interested to hear them too 👀
