«La mà tallada» is the novel by Jordi Llavina, published by Proa in paperback (240 pages, in Catalan).
A man complacently watches a steel guillotine cut off his hand and a paper-handling belt carry it away, convinced that the accident will allow him to devote himself to writing. The story follows an unlucky writer and his first book of short stories, in a mordant and tender satire on the craft of writing.
It belongs to the Beta / Proa series, of which it is the fourth instalment; first edition published in 1999.
For readers of contemporary fiction in Catalan and for those who enjoy parody of the craft of writing.
