«El laberinto de las aceitunas» is the humorous crime novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
The anonymous detective who already starred in «El misterio de la cripta embrujada» is dragged by chance: a network of crooks tries to recover a briefcase full of money lost in strange circumstances. The narrative parodies the crime genre with absurd humour, a heterodox style and a satirical look at society.
Second novel in the series «El innombrado detective o El paciente del Doctor Sugrañes», published in 1982.
For readers of crime fiction who appreciate absurd humour, social satire and contemporary Spanish literature.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
