The Seven Deadly Sins is an ambitious project bringing together seven of the most exciting, vibrant voices in Catalan literature to write seven essays on what are perhaps the most enigmatic – and least understood – aspects of religion and morality. Drawing on many different sources, the essayists tell each sin’s story and origin in their own unique way to produce a collection that is frequently hilarious while always entertaining and informative. In Mara Faye Lethem’s stunning translation, these are essays that can be enjoyed as part of a whole or individually.
