"La Nau" és l’obra guanyadora del prestigiós premi de novel·la curta Just M. Casero. La intrigant història d’uns personatges que viuran una experiència extraordinària. Una nau, 200 tripulants i un destí: Xeix. Tot el necessari per viure-hi una llarga temporada. Un món planificat al mil·límetre. Un exterior fosc, estàtic i glaçat com l’entrada d’una caverna endimoniada. Quà es Xeix? Quà els espera en aquest destí enigmàtic?

Amb un títol que emmarca la història com si fos un quadre, Michael Köhlmeier troba el límit entre la vida i la narració de la mateixa i ens mostra com pot separar i decidir un escriptor què ha de formar part de la seva obra i què ha de pertànyer a la seva intimitat. La profunda anàlisi que fa l’autor de les relacions, en una obra d’aparença senzilla, es redueix a un succés concret, gairebé anecdòtic. És així com en aquesta breu i bella novel-la comprovem com les diferències de caràcter de dues persones provoquen percepcions antagòniques del mateix incident.
