Jaume Cabré (b. 1947) is a major star of Catalan literature, essayist, novelist, playwright, film and television scriptwriter; he has won the most important Catalan literary awards, his books have been translated into dozens of languages, and their circulation exceeds one million copies. Cabré's novel The Eunuch's Shadow, which also won several awards and has been translated into a dozen and a half languages, is the funny and sad story of a sentimental and amorous art lover, the scion of an ancient family, who, in search of the Way, Truth, and Life, devotes his college years to an armed struggle for justice. Mirroring the structure of Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, The Eunuch's Shadow also turns into a requiem and tells of the fates of all loved and lost, of loss, of death that has happened and that is to come. Literature and music live in this novel; here laughter is brief, sorrow is bitter, but life is never finished.
