“If anyone dares to ask me if I have written an autobiographical work I will spit in their face.” It is said, very revealingly, by a character on the penultimate page ofThe whist players, by Vicenç Pagès Jordà. What if. Readers are asking you. Journalists ask you. Those who run the book clubs ask you. Friends, acquaintances and greetings ask you. The psychologist asks you (perhaps she’s the only one you forgive). You ask yourself and everything. One time and another. What about you in what you write? Many reviews also consider it important to underline the degree of contact with reality in a work of fiction; sometimes even mistaking the label of self-fiction; others, even mentioning it as if the relationship between truth and fiction added merit to the text. And the truth is that it is not only very heavy, but also absurd.
