«Pa negre» is the contemporary novel by Emili Teixidor published by labutxaca in paperback (400 pages, in Catalan).
Set in the Plana de Vic during the postwar period, it follows Andreu, a boy from a Republican family whose father is imprisoned and who is sent to live with relatives in the countryside. Between fear and appearances, he discovers the secrets of adults, friendship, outdoor games, and a rural world marked by repression and compulsory Mass.

With its blend of memory and fiction, it is a read for those seeking contemporary fiction with a historical backdrop.
