Destino, 1966
857 pages
Fiction
The Gray Notebook is both autobiographical and a portrait of his world, and one of the benchmarks of Catalan literature.
Published in 1966 as the first volume of Pla’s complete works, The Gray Notebook is presented as a youthful diary, dated from 1918 to 1919, but it actually is the result of an enormous later reworking. An autobiographical book on personal maturation, a book on the passing of time and on the human and cultural landscape of his era, it is the writer’s masterpiece.
