«Benzina» is the novel by Quim Monzó, published by Quaderns Crema in paperback (200 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Heribert, an established artist who, on the morning of January 1, wakes with the feeling that everything around him has become distant and unjustifiable. Without the desire to paint his blank canvases, he lets himself be carried by apathy among relationships marked by lack of communication and disenchantment.
It is number 8 in the Biblioteca Mínima collection; the first edition was published on May 25, 1983.
A work of contemporary fiction for readers of Catalan literature interested in creative crisis and disenchantment.
