Wild Horses is a brutally powerful, unflinching account of the heroin epidemic that swept across Catalonia in the 1980s. The novel, told from a variety of points of view, tells the story of a group of friends as they buy, sell, and consume heroin and other drugs in their home town. Wild Horses is a kaleidoscope of voices, stories, song lyrics and heartbreakingly all-too-real characters. It is a true classic of modern story-telling that is both shocking and captivating at the same time.
Having lived through the heroin epidemic that scourged Catalonia in the 1980s, Jordi Cussa turned his talents to writing plays and, later, novels. He is considered one of 20th century Catalonia's most important writers.
Tiago Miller is a writer and translator living and working in Lleida, Catalonia. In addition to his translations of Catalan literature, he contributes articles on Catalan culture and language to various publications.
