Ariel I Els Cossos

Sebastià Portell

When asked if he is a man or a woman, Ariel does not know what to answer. They told him that he has a body and that this body could get to love with other bodies, but the experience of Ariel is always another. Ariel and the bodies is the story of a character that exists and loves in a different, dodgy, always provisional and disconcerting way. With echoes of Orlando, the famous treatise on gender by Virginia Woolf, this novel is a tribute to the loves that are not born and to the loves that, once born, live on death rows forever. After The Day That David Bowie died, Sebastià Portell returns to surprise the reader with a literary gem.
