«Bala de corcho» is the novel by Spanish writer Carles Casajuana, published in 1989 by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (200 pages, in Spanish).
Didac Desprius, a character who lies for the pleasure of inventing himself, narrates his aversion to marriage, his relationship with Neus, and his ties with two contrasting friends. The story is a tableau on the art of lying and a chronicle of nocturnal Barcelona in the seventies that vindicates the right to fail and humor in the face of disenchantment.
First novel by Carles Casajuana, originally published in Catalan as Tap d'escopeta and translated by Joaquín Jordá. It is part of the Narrativas Hispánicas collection (no. 74).
A read for fans of contemporary narrative in Spanish and translated Catalan fiction, with humor and a generational portrait.
