Author: Francesc Borrull
I’m Francesc Borrull, a writer born in Barcelona and now living in Normal, Illinois. My work explores the landscapes of memory and the quiet, human moments that shape ordinary lives. I’m drawn to the subtle emotions people carry, the silences beneath the surface, and the small gestures that reveal deeper truths.
Beyond fiction, I write about the worlds that have always inspired me—literature, film, music, and philosophy. Creative Cadence is where these interests meet: a space for reflection, storytelling, and the ongoing search for meaning through art.
Not The End is my debut collection of nine interconnected stories.
Salome, or the Violence of Weak Power
Kakfa and the Grammar of Anxiety
Zion, or the Longing for a Place Where Truth Can Rest
People Inside Ideas: Prestige Television, Taste, and the Limits of Concept
David Bowie, Ten Years After: A Personal Tribute
A Year in Cadence: 2025
Buying Pleasure, Selling Freedom. Benjamin Franklin, Consumerism, and the Quiet Loss of Self
“Not The End” — A Beginning I Didn’t See Coming
