Blai Bonet

Blai Bonet (1926 in Santanyí – 1997 in Mallorca) was a Mallorcan poet, novelist and art critic.

Bonet was an author with a trajectory marked by personal religious conflict and tuberculosis. His novel ''El Mar'' (The Sea), published in 1958, generated quite a stir. Afterwards, in 1962 his collections of poems ''L'Evangeli segons un de tants'' (The Gospel According to One of Many) was awarded the Carles Riba Poetry Prize, but it was not published due to Spanish Francoist censorship, delaying it for more than five years. In 1990, he was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Catalan Government.

He was a member of the Association of Catalan Language Writers. He was a key participant in the resurgence of Catalan literature in the 1960s. His experimental novel ''The Sea'' can be read in English thanks to Dalkey Archive Press. Provided by Wikipedia
