The jury made up of Mita Casacuberta, Guillem Gisbert, Imma Monsó, Sergi Pàmies, Jordi Puntí and the editors Isabel Obiols and Silvia Sesé has unanimously decided to award the 10th Anagrama Novela Book Award
to the work 'Teoria del Jjoc' by the writer from Igualada Arià Paco.
The award, for which 73 originals have been submitted, has a prize of 12,000 euros and the work will be published by Llibres Anagrama at the end of March.
Teoria del joc is a book about heterosexual desire and guilt, which follows the story of Ernest, his sexual awakening and his relationships over two decades marked by the consolidation of social networks and feminism. The writer and jury member, Inma Monsó, said about Teoria del joc that «in a context in which simplistic criticism of toxic virility is a trend, the emergence of the voice of a young narrator who reveals to us how he begins in sex and love immersed in critical questions that the pioneering stories about the deconstruction of masculinity have barely dared to face is enriching».
