Death in Spring

Death in Spring is translated from the Catalan, and that's why I bought the book in a terrific bookshop on a recent trip to Barcelona . And while I did recognize some brilliance in the novel and an important theme of struggle against the authoritarians, I found the odd prose (images and events that are far beyond the familiar) nearly impenetrable. Sometimes it make sense, and sometimes it's just weird.
