«El mejor de los mundos» is the short story and novella collection by Quim Monzó, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (240 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together thirteen stories and a novella marked by black humour: cruel tales about happiness, violence and private hells. Monzó broadens his range with tones that go from the realistic to the grotesque, and the central piece, «Ante el rey de Suecia», follows a writer obsessed with the Nobel.
First edition in the Narrativas Hispánicas collection, no. 325, published in Barcelona in 2002. The Catalan original is «El millor dels mons», which appeared in 2001.
For readers of short fiction and contemporary fiction in Spanish, as well as for those who follow the work of Quim Monzó.
