It is known that he was friends with the writers Blai Bonet, Bernat Vidal i Tomàs and Jaume Pomar; also with the couple Maria Antònia Oliver and Jaume Fuster – the latter, incidentally, taught him his first notions of computing. He was born in 1945 in Santanyí, a land of writers. And the protagonist of these lines is no exception: Antoni Vidal Ferrando, poet, narrator, and historian. His story is told by the writer's eldest daughter, Antònia. He has another son, Andreu.
