The Erratic Life of Marty Bosc

Marty Bosc is a simple, educated, sixty-three-year-old, disenchanted Catalan man. He usually prefers his own company, and likes to live life on a day-to-day basis. However, despite his attempts to simplify his affairs, he becomes the personification of the slightly modified age-old adage, "man proposes and fate disposes".

Offering a panoramic view of the last four decades in Catalonia, the English translation of this free-thinking Catalonian novel-a mixture of adventure and noir-has all the classic ingredients: life, love, death, hate, fear, indifference, corruption, arrogance... all under an ironical, often tender, sometimes sour point of view of the narrator: our dear Marty, or Marti, but certainly not Martiri , the one he was baptised with.

Toni Prun s The Erratic Life of Marty Bosc will take you on a journey from beach town of Platja d'Aro in Costa Brava to the Pyrenees mountains and the Vall s Region, the industrial heart of Catalonia, with some elopes to Hamburg, Germany, as well. With adventure, shady deals, old rues, murders, crossroads, you are in for a ride, especially if you're a freethinker

"I enjoyed it very much. It's quirky, funny and original. Give it a proper chance " says F.B., one of Prun s' English readers from New Zealand.
