Died	1997 Mallorca
Occupation	writer and poet
Notable work	El Mar

Bonet was an author with a trajectory marked by personal religious conflict and tuberculosis. His novel El Mar (The Sea), published in 1958, generated quite a stir. Afterwards, in 1962 his collections of poems L'Evangeli segons un de tants (The Gospel According to One of Many) was awarded the Carles Riba Prize, but it wasn't published due to Spanish Francoist censorship, delaying it for more than five years.[1] In 1990, he was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Catalan Government.

He was a member of the Association of Catalan Language Writers.[2] He was a key participant in the resurgence of Catalan literature in the 1960s. His experimental novel The Sea can be read in English thanks to Dalkey Archive Press.
