“Fra Junoy, or the Agony of Sounds” (1984) is the second part of the trilogy “The Book of Feixes”, a novel-parable about the fate of a monk-musician who lives by music and for whom it is the path to truth and freedom. However, within the walls of the monastery, Fra Junoy’s creative gift is considered a sin, and his otherness is considered blasphemy. In the same monastery, as a nun, Adele, the heiress of the Rigau family, resides. Jaume Cabre depicts two parallel dramas: the drama of a nun who, instead of gentle love, saw inhuman severity in the monastery, and the drama of an artist whose love for music comes into irreconcilable conflict with fanaticism, fear and violence.
