Wilder Winds

The search for beauty without sacrificing truth, or the other way around: This is the most defining trait of Bel Olid’s literature. Brave and brilliant, Olid’s narrative never shies away from conflict, be it intimate or collective.

The short stories that make up Vents més salvatges are about individual freedoms, the abuse of power, the social machinery of violence, the life that beats at the margins of society, the unavoidable differences and also about those small acts of kindness that help to change the world and make it a better place to live.

«Bel can explain the most terrible things in the most beautiful way.» Marta Rojals
