The summer article for Catalonia Today magazine (July/August, 2025). About the first novel ever written about the Catalan independence referendum and its aftermaths.

Great news! This light fictionalization should make very good reading. Being familiar with recent Catalan history since the 1970s, having lived the whole rise of the self-determination movement and Spanish repression, I can say it is quite a powerful story that will surprise its readers.

Gràcies - i igualment dic!

Moltes gràcies, Pipa - també per la foto: no sabia que hi havia un cementiri de barques al Delta.

‘On The Lookout’ – a short, short piece about why and how the novel ‘Just Looking’ (England-Is-A-Bitch Productions, 2022) got done. - Matthew Tree Back in the mid-‘Seventies, in London, the National Front – at the time the more-or-less acceptable face of neo-Fascism, whose publicly stated demands just managed to stay enough on the right side of ...

A short - well, four page - piece about the writing of a novel about a European far right coalition with a hidden agenda, in a few years' time.

Hosti, quina peça antiga. Encara faltava un parell de mesos perquè la Cris i jo comencéssim a sortir junts.

La sorpresa Si teniu la sort de visitar Banyoles al llarg de les properes tres setmanes, veureu que cap al centre, al costat de la carretera principal, hi ha una llibreria força llegendària que es diu l'Altell......

L'article d'avui (29/06/25) al Punt Avui sobre una exposició sorprenent de dibuixos fets per un col·leccionista d'art la col·lecció del qual aviat convertirà un nou museu banyolí en una de les galeries d'art més importants de Catalunya - i més enllà. www.elpuntavui.cat/opinio/artic...

‘Wink, Wink’ – a (very) short piece about why and how ‘If Only’ (England-Is-A-Bitch Productions, 2021) got written. - Matthew Tree I wrote ‘If Only’ back in the year 2000, in both Catalan and English. The Catalan and Spanish versions (the latter translated from the English by an Italian) were published in 2001 by two different ma...

This is the first in a series of five short texts about five of my novels in English which are currently available (three more are in the waiting room), with the odd reflection on writing in general. I hope they don't come out as pretentious but you never know....
