«Dies de frontera» is the novel by Vicenç Pagès Jordà that won the Premi Sant Jordi 2013, published in 2014 by Proa in hardcover (328 pages, in Catalan).
Pau and Teresa have a stable relationship that continues out of inertia until a stumble, which he calls «la relliscada», triggers a crisis: a change of address, emotional confusion, and a journey towards the border. Divided into over a hundred chapters, often very short, the novel reflects on chosen partnerships, family, parenthood, and a youth that is hard to leave behind.
The novel won the Premi de Narrativa Maria Àngels Anglada 2015 and belongs to the A Tot Vent collection (number 610).
For readers of contemporary fiction in Catalan interested in couple relationships and life transitions.
