Mosaic III. Impresssions literàries sobre temes domèstics, publicat per primera vegada el 1946, és l?únic recull conegut de les memòries de Víctor Català. Dividit en tres parts, les dues primeres recullen vint-i-quatre relats autobiogràfics, «Intimitats», que parlen directament de la seva vida i del seu món d?infantesa a l?Escala, però els fets descrits s?hi presenten com a mostra i símptoma d?una personalitat revoltada, atenta, d?intel·lectual. Completa el volum «Girades», que aplega quatre traduccions d?autors poc coneguts ara, però d?un evident interès perquè tracten de temes importants per a l?escriptora. Aquests relats ens arriben avui com una recuperació i ens brinden l?entrada a l?univers personal de Víctor Català

Through misunderstanding, sympathy, reconciliation and love, seven schoolchildren forged an abiding friendship in their hometown Penghu, a cluster of islands in the Taiwan Strait. Brought together by their Arts and Crafts teacher, the children learned to cherish their friendship and to understand their cultural roots. At their farewell party, they promised to come back for a reunion twenty years later, on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now working in Canada, Glasses is coming home to keep his promise. Penghu?s landscapes ? waves, fields, cows, coral-stone walls, horsetail trees and gaillardias ? summon back memories at school, in the pottery workshop, and on a trip to the Isle of Jibei. As he makes his way towards the old workshop, Glasses relives those memories and contemplates the meaning of home. The Taiwanese writer Li Tong?s award-winning novel, Again I See the Gaillardias, is a deeply moving story about friendship, growing up, homecoming, self-identification and local attachments.

Com a resposta a l'exigència apressant de les petites boques del paper, aquests mots esdevindran un so alimentari amb significats variables, una farina uniforme, formes flonges que hauran de desparèixer a poc a poc sota l'avidesa del paper, per les petites boques que es baden, tot deixant-hi només un indici escadusser de l'àpat, una espina de peix que hi evoca moviments natatoris, aquàriums, persones ofegant-se entre la dolçor de les algues.

Aquest llibre s'inscriu (i s'escriu) en el punt de confluència de les dues tasques principals de l'autor: la de poeta i crític. És un llibre que pren la poesia com a forma d'expressió, tot i que formalment hi trobem elements més propis de la crítica: notes a peu de pàgina, ús de citacions, etc...L'autor parla de la relació de la llengua amb el poeta i amb el lector, de la relació dels mots amb la creació i el real, amb l'inefable i l'absolut. La lectura d'aquesta obra és intensa i rica, plena de complicitats intel·ligents, un passeig de la mà de la literatura servit per la literatura amb majúscules.
