«Sic trànsit Glòria Swanson» is a collection of short stories by Emili Teixidor, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (168 pages, in Catalan).
The stories recreate post-war life in the Osona region, with its tenacious petty miseries and unexpected cracks of freedom. Teixidor draws on close experiences to build allegories about the limits of human passions, with prose that shows great command of language, between tenderness and sarcasm.
The book belongs to the El Cangur collection and won the Premi de la Crítica Serra d'Or 1980 for best narrative work.
Emili Teixidor i Viladecàs was a Catalan writer, journalist and pedagogue. He wrote over thirty novels, mainly for children and teenagers, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed adult novel, Black Bread, which inspired a film of the same name.
