Attila

Aliocha Coll represents that ideal of an uncompromising artist to which many authors aspire in their romantic fantasies, but very few dare to achieve. [. . .] He intertwines alliterations and assonances as ingeniously as the medieval artisans interlaced decorative laths between the rafter beams.""--The Untranslated ""A brilliant and extraordinary man, very gifted from childhood, and with an extraordinary vocation. He chose the path of revolutionising the word, with books that were excessively avant-garde for the ordinary reader, and represented a break away from commonplace language."" -Carmen Balcells ""Attila does not respect the prescriptive separation between drama, prose and poetry, which occur throughout the work, nor the traditional rules of punctuation, and the pauses in his prose are often those of breath, as happens in some poetry; the entire work is governed by lexical richness and invention and by the discovery of surprising metaphors and similes [. . .] A narrative that, without being conventional, tells a story that is clearly intelligible. And captivating. [. . .] This is a grenade, without a doubt, but opened and filled with sweet, garnet-colored seeds.""--ABC
