One of the great figures of Valencian literature of the 20th century and part of the 21st century has passed away, emphasized this morning the poet and editor Voro Ortells, who has coordinated a study of his work that will soon be published by the Institució Alfons el Magnànim. "He was the author of an extremely powerful body of work because there was no gap between his life and his literature," Ortells adds. "For him, life was literature, and literature was life."
