«El Cafè de la Granota» is a collection of fourteen short stories by Jesús Moncada, published by Educaula in paperback (176 pages, in Catalan).
In an old café in the former town of Mequinensa, a chronicler gathers from his regulars a set of tales marked by humour and social criticism: musicians, football fans, a boatman who wants to regain his trade in the afterlife, and other singular characters parade through these fourteen stories set in Moncada's literary universe.
Originally published in 1985, it is Moncada's second collection of short stories. It includes a preliminary study with bibliography, glossary and work proposals by Hèctor Moret.
Prescribed reading for the subject of Catalan Language and Literature in the baccalaureate of Catalonia, and suitable for young people aged 14 and over.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
