Juan Carlos has published an indescribable video to promote his memoirs. He defends his role in the transition from dictatorship to democracy and ends by asking young people to support his son, Felipe VI, in his reign. He is seen seated against a backdrop of a Spanish flag—both digital and stylized—that covers the entire screen. We haven't seen a more ridiculous use of the flag since Sonia Monroy appeared at the Oscars ceremony wrapped in one as a dress. Nor have we seen a more ludicrous use of green screen. Nor of whatever video editing software they used.

It doesn't happen to me all the time, but there are moments in our longing collective life that make me yearn for the malicious and often lucid pen of Llorenç Villalonga. The author of the Disruptions, of the myth of Bearn and the dystopia of touristified Mallorca refuted as Turclub in Andrea Víctrix He was also a broad-stroke caricaturist, loaded with bias and ideology, yes, but a caricaturist, nonetheless. He knew how to observe Mallorcan society with the cunning of the cats he liked so much (he had one, for example, that he called Moix), and then he portrayed it with the perfidy of a distorted mirror. Thus, the poet Aina Cohen was an alter ego of Maria Antònia Salvà, one of the best writers this island has ever produced, and a good part of the Mallorcan nobility of the time was scandalized to find themselves (or not to find themselves!) portrayed among the few dozen pages of Death of a LadyHis novels were often parades of characters who moved between the grotesque and the ambivalent, between sarcasm and the nevertheless.
