«Grec busca grega» is the novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (128 pages, in Catalan).
The protagonist is a modest bureaucratic office worker who, almost without intending to, rises to the highest levels of the social scale and is swept into an intense and surprising romantic success. The narrative, written with fine irony, turns that improbable ascent into a satirical portrait of chance, appearances, and the ambitions of the society of his time.
The work belongs to the El Cangur collection (no. 18). Its original title is «Grieche sucht Griechin» and it was first published in German in 1955.
Reading for those seeking ironic social satire and short stories with a critical undertone.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
