A spacetime hole and a friendship
Publication: 20 copies, 92 pages, 22 × 16 cm. 2023.
The failed attempt to present an early 17th-century document as the main reason why the Catalan novel Mecanoscrit del segon origen (1974) begins with flying saucers destroying the world accidentally leads to the discovery of the significance of a friendship between the writer Manuel de Pedrolo and the man from Tàrrega (Spain), Jaume Anglí Escolà: the possible real reason behind this event.
A piece of research set in the Arxiu Comarcal de l’Urgell in July 2022, but which also passes through the last room of a hotel, a series of bicycle rides through the town of Tàrrega, one—or several—weirs, Belianes, Belianes and a fictional city that sounds similar, the second-hand bookshops of Barcelona, and the 1st National Congress of Ufology.
The publication includes two original texts by the author about the research, a facsimile of the document ELS OVNIS (Objectes Voladors No Identificats) (“Flying Saucers”), Lecture read and discussed on Thursday, 27 January 1972, at 8:30 p.m., at the Centre Comarcal de Cultura de Tàrrega, by the member of the board, Jaume Anglí i Escolà, and a collection of photographs from the Arxiu Comarcal de l’Urgell.
