«Crímenes ejemplares» is a collection of short stories by Max Aub, published by Espasa-Calpe in hardback, with 105 pages in Spanish.
Brief stories in which killers explain their motives: minimal confessions with black humour that present crime as an absurd nonsense. The work is organised into four sections —crimes, suicides, gastronomy and epitaphs— and ironically elevates mediocre or accidental acts to the category of exemplary.
Work originally published in 1957; this edition is from 1999. Volume 12 of the ABC collection of 20th-century narrative in Spanish.
A work for those who appreciate microfiction, absurd humour and satire, with special interest in 20th-century Spanish literature.
