A literary view of the prison sector
The novel ‘Do not say to nobody in which works’ emerges as a powerful testimony to the reality of prisons in Catalonia. In a context marked by violence, negligence and personal dramas, Albert Duchamp’s work delves into the daily experiences of these professionals, offering a perspective that is often relegated to oblivion.
Portrait of a forgotten sector
In recent years, prisons have been at the disturbing news center: aggression, political tensions and personal tragedies, such as the murder of the cook Núria López, have joined a panorama that requires attention. Now, with this novel, the author seeks not only to inform, but also to humanize those who work within this hostile environment.
A realistic narrative I Sense Filter
Through a story that challenges stereotypes, the story presents a protagonist with anarchist ideas that goes into the prison world in order to help an imprisoned friend. This choice takes him to a universe full of anecdotes and reflections that illustrate the complexity of life within prisons, far from the usual idealization or demonization.
Reflections on four decades of changes
The novel commemorates the 40th anniversary of the transfer of prison powers in Catalonia, but it does so in a way that challenges the norm. Instead of a conventional celebration, Duchamp offers a raw and incisive portrait that emphasizes the difficult realities that officials face, far from the heroism that often attributes them.
A human experience
The strength of the novel lies in its ability to capture the human experience of its characters. Officials are not presented as superheroes, but as real individuals with struggles, triumphs and failures, thus reflecting the complexity of their daily work.
A speaker for ignored realities
With an approach that challenges the predominant narratives, ‘Do not dig you to nobody in which work’ is an invitation to know a sector that rarely grabs public attention. The novel offers a window to the daily life of prisons, a group that is often forgotten and misunderstanding, and, as they know, deserves to be heard.
