'Someone - or something - had killed Barcelona. It was his job to find out why.' - Ian Rankin
'A whole generation of Spaniards would come to remember the day Marisol posed naked for Interviu (August 12, 1976) in the same way Americans of a certain age recall where they were when JFK was shot.' - Jeff King
'She tried to picture what her brother would look like after nearly two years of not seeing him, and wondered if he'd had his hair cut recently, or if he was still having their father do it because he was afraid to leave the house.' - Leah Ganse
'That Barcelona was very different from today's; the sense of repression was enormous, the anger I smelled & felt in the bars & cafes flavored everything. The air was as bad as the air above Detroit where I grew up; the city was grim, gray, & totally familiar.' - Philip Levine
'I turn from aisle to aisle, asking for this or that, my words tinged with accent, my eyes bright with courtesy, the rain now a rooftop whisper that follows me until I step out into the crowded adjoining streets...' - Matthew Tree

Not only does the magazine aim to have articles about and by well known writers connected to the city in some way - in this category we could mention Toibin, Orwell, Rupert Thompson and many more - but to act as a platform for new writers exiled in a city which has provided them with a new set of cultural references. We also occasionally highlight the work of Catalan writers and poets who we like. The result, we hope, is a small and beautiful thing, an object of interest and curiosity to those passing through and an eagerly awaited magazine for those who have taken root.
