- There needs to be consensus about how to go about this. Some other authors whose literary career also relies heavily on their cultural background (i.e. Andrea Abreu) have ended up being described here as "Spanish" anyway. I tried to make "Canarian" the descriptor used in her case, but the reality is that she's Spanish and it should probably be mentioned first due to most people in the world not being aware of what the Canary Islands are (or in this case, Catalonia). I think we should indicate first that she is Spanish and immediately then mention that she is Catalan. Malmriv (talk) 09:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
