Jordi Cussà (Berga, 18 January 1961 – 11 July 2021)[1] was a Spanish Catalan-language writer.[2][3]
In the late 1970s he co-founded the Anònim Theatre foundation in his hometown, Berga, collaborating as a playwright and actor. His first novel Cavalls salvatges (2000) reflects his youth addiction to drugs. The novel was very well received by both public and critics in Catalan cultural scene, 'because of its innovation in both its linguistic and stylistic solutions and its themes'.[2] Afterwards he published other books like La Serp (2001), El Ciclop (2017), A Reveure, Espanya (2010) or El trobador Cuadeferro (2016). His last book was published in 2021: El primer emperador i la reina Lluna.[4]
Member of the Association of Catalan Language Writers, Cussà also worked as a professional translator to Catalan. He published translations from authors like Chuck Palahniuk, John Boyne, Patricia Highsmith and Truman Capote.[2]
