Flesh and Bone

In En carn i ossos (Flesh and Bone), Núria Cadenes brings together thirteen stories inspired by real conflicts and events, spanning different moments in history while speaking directly to the present. Far from grand statements, these narratives focus on the human dimension of experience, giving voice to characters confronted with fear, violence, injustice, power, and resistance.

Through a rich variety of voices, moods, and narrative styles, the collection creates a compelling mosaic of the fragilities and contradictions of the human condition. Moving between vulnerability and hope, selfishness and love, these stories showcase Cadenes’s ability to explore diverse emotional and historical landscapes with prose that is both vibrant and deeply evocative.
