Description: "Two Catalan village children, a girl and a boy, survive the end of the world and decide 'to be an origin and not an end.' And who knows (the author is wisely equivocal on this point), perhaps they really do become the childish founders of a new civilization. This is an interesting European SF forerunner text, and I'm glad to see it sensitively translated and in print in English."--Gwyneth Jones "At last a fundamental novel in Spain's Sci-Fi is available in English! For decades, Catalan youth have loved this modern masterpiece of post-apocalyptic eutopia. Now we can do the same in the US."--Juan C. Toledano, editor of Alambique " Typescript is sci-fi, allegory and above all a story of resilience. It is one of the most widely read works in Catalan ever, yet its author remains controversial and understudied. This is the paradox of Pedrolo, ripe here for a new public."--Louise Johnson
