Joan Perucho
Joan Perucho i Gutierres-Duque (born November 7, 1920 in Gràcia , Barcelona ; † October 28, 2003 ibid) was a Spanish poet, narrator and art critic from Catalonia , who alternated between work as a writer and as a full-time judge . He was a member of the Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres (cat. For "Royal Academy of Fiction") of Barcelona and an honorary doctorate from the University of Tarragona .
He is a rare and unclassifiable writer of his kind, because only very few authors have known how to alternate the traditional and the avant-garde in the literary debate with a very special grace and originality. In 1995 he received the Catalonia Literature Prize, which was awarded for the first time that year; In 2002 he also received the National Literature Prize of Spain.
He wrote in Spanish and Catalan and has not yet been translated into German.
