«El sopar d'en Larry» is the novel by Carol Shields published by Edicions 62 in paperback (432 pages, in Catalan).
Larry Weller, an unremarkable man born in 1950, is the center of a narrative that moves through episodes from 1977 to 1997 with shifts back and forth in time. Carol Shields builds an ironic and tender portrait of fin-de-siècle masculinity, in which the everyday acquires density and Larry persists in a search for identity.
Catalan edition, published in 1999, of the original Larry's Party (1997). It corresponds to number 340 of the El Balancí collection. The original work won the Orange Prize in 1998.
Recommended for reading groups and for those who enjoy contemporary fiction, particularly Canadian literature.
