How did Latin American boom novels influence Catalan fiction writers?

During the 1970s, Catalan writers were significantly influenced by the Latin American boom novels of the 1960s and 1970s. This influence encouraged a generation of Catalan authors to experiment with and substantially expand the traditional boundaries of the novel.

Specifically, these writers were inspired to explore the relationship between literature and film. This period of experimentation also saw authors move toward metafiction and more irreverent, analytical approaches to contemporary societal contradictions, as seen in the work of prominent figures like Terenci Moix.1
