Pilar Codony (Banyoles, 1987) has a degree in Veterinary Medicine. After a stay in Cuba (where she completed an apprenticeship on a dairy cattle farm) and in the United States (where she worked in a wildlife center) she currently pursues an occupation in farms, specifically calf ones. Her debut, Distòcia [Dystocia], won the 2021 Documenta prize and is set in the world of a cattle and sheep farm. In the novel, Codony ponders on the dichotomy between animality and humanity through the motherhood of the protagonist.
