El 27 de gener del 1966 moria Caterina Albert. A Stroligut podeu llegir dos articles de Nora Albert, pioners de la ginocrítica catalana, sobre Víctor Català, «una autora motriu-matriu dins la literatura de dones». També el pròleg de Lluís Via a la 5a edició de "Solitud" i un poema a la Mila.
Víctor Català | l'arxiu
