KILLING THE NERVE - Preorder
In this tour de force of auto-journalism, Anna Pazos explores the end of youth and the beginning of adulthood for the global nomad generation. We are taken on a journey from the ‘Mediterranean mediocrity’ of bourgeois Barcelona life, through Anna’s unstructured Erasmus days in Thessaloniki, her first steps in journalism in Jerusalem, her sail across the Atlantic with an unsuitable lover, and to post-MeToo, pre-pandemic New York. In 2021, back in Barcelona, she turns her analytical attention on her family, on post-2017 Catalan society, and on her place within it.
This stunning debut was longlisted for the Premi Finestres 2023 and voted best Catalan Book of the Year by El Pais.
