«Contra la nit d'oboixangó» is the novel by Jordi Sarsanedas, published by Laia in 1981 in paperback (93 pages, in Catalan).
Postcolonial reinterpretation inspired by Voltaire's Candide: it narrates the journey of a protagonist to the imaginary archipelago of Oboixangó. Contact with other cultures makes him question his ideas about society, identity, and knowledge, and the narrative combines irony and adventure as a critical allegory of the human condition.
First edition. Belongs to the El Nus collection (number 29). Includes illustrations by Eulàlia Sariola.
A work of post-war Catalan narrative, for readers who appreciate allegory, humor, irony, and social criticism.
