El llibre dels mals catalans es una novela satírica en verso sobre un triángulo amoroso en la Cataluña del Gobierno tripartito. El trio protagonista reúne a un político de una organización gubernamental, un poeta que se gana la vida como periodista y una prostituta rusa. Antiguos compañeros de la izquierda revolucionaria en su juventud, ambos hombres en la actualidad comparten amante. Mientras que el poeta la idealiza, el político la utiliza como refugio sexual dentro de su catálogo de perversiones privadas ante las virtudes públicas. Abocado a malvivir del periodismo más prostibulari, el poeta es el narrador de esta historia, en la que extiende su desencanto vital a la política. De esta manera, a la vez relata una mordaz crónica de los acontecimientos que ha vivido la sociedad catalana en la era de pretensa redención abierta después de veintitrés años de pujolismo.
David Castillo i Buïls is a Spanish poet, writer, and literary critic. He started out as a poet with counterculture and underground publications in the 1970s, although his first published work, a declaration of principles, was the biography of Bob Dylan in 1992. Three years earlier, he had been the anthologist of Ser del segle, which brought together leading voices of the generation of the 1980s. They were followed by a series of poems among them "Game over", which won the Carles Riba Poetry Prize. Then he began a career as a writer with novels like El cel de l'infern and No miris enrere, that were well accepted both by critics and the general public. El cel de l'infern was awarded the Crexells Prize for the best Catalan novel of the year in 1999. No miris enrere won the Premi Sant Jordi de novel·la of 2001. Castillo has received Atlàntida awards for journalism three times, and he has also been awarded the Italian "Tratti Poetry Prize for the best foreign poet" for his anthology of poetry translated into Italian. He has been organizing various poetic cycles. He is a founder of Poetry Week in Barcelona, and has been a director of it since 1997.
