«La filla de la puta» is Richard Russo's short story collection, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
A jaded Hollywood director discovers a flame he failed to recognize; a precocious boy witnesses the dissolution of his parents' marriage amid life, love, and baseball; and a septuagenarian nun bursts into a university writing workshop in the title story. Russo portrays everyday miseries with humor and melancholy.
Published in 2004 in the El Balancí collection by Edicions 62, it is Richard Russo's first book of short stories, translated into Catalan by Mercè Costa Clos.
