Anyone who has ever read about the things they have really seen... would be completely right to think that Josep Lluís Badal is a man who has lived. They would also be completely right in wondering where a true story ends (if this weren't a contradiction) and where the literary reference the author acknowledges as a key ingredient begins. This writer, trainer of dogs and teenagers and a hundred other things, born in Ripollet del Vallès in 1966, but Terrassan by adoption, would say that there's no difference and there's no point wasting time looking for borderline. Keep living how you need to live: with a bit of fresh air and light - and food -, with your loved ones, with literature. Read and write. Poetry, short stories, novels, essays. With the intention of sharing (he's a maestro) the beauty that others have seen and what your own eyes have seen. Generosity and survival.
