ANTONI MARÍ (Eivissa, 1944)
Antoni Marí is Professor of Art Theory at the Pompeu Fabra University. His literary corpus has moved between poetry, essay and novel. Thus, in 1979 he published his first book of poems entitled El preludi (1979) (The Prelude), and in 1988 the collection of essays La voluntat expressiva (The Expressive Will), which carries out his idea of genre, followed by Formes de l’individualisme (1994) (Forms of Individualism). In his first novel, El vas de plata (1991) (The Silver Goblet), he speaks of the years of adolescence, and El camí de Vincennes (1995) (The Way to Vincennes) offers us a particular interpretation of the friendship between Rousseau and Diderot. In Entspringen (2000), he reflects upon research on identity and memory. In 2003 he returned to poetry with Tríptic des Jondal (2003) (Triptych of Jondal), and to the essay with La vida dels sentits (2004) (The Life of the Senses). He has received, among others, the Crítica Serra d’Or Prize (1988 and 1994), the National Prize of the Government of Catalonia (1988), and the National Critics Prize for Un viatge d’hivern (1990) (A Winter Trip).
