Following in the footsteps of Raymond Quenau, Joan-Llúis Lluís writes the same story in 123 different ways.
The result is a joyful recital, a celebration of Catalan Language and its diverse registers, of the literature that has shaped it, of the beauty that it treasures and of the infinite plasticity that it reveals in a game of mirrors.
Lluís published Xocolota desfeta for the first time in 2010. Thirteen years later and a few more editions, the publishing house animallibres proposes him to turn it into an illustrated book. Then suddenly the book takes on another dimension. But don't let the illustrations fool you, like all good literature, this book is ageless.
