«La magnitud de la tragèdia» is the novel by Quim Monzó published in 1989, with 173 pages, in Catalan.
The work is a comedy-toned narrative with a sober, dense structure, an allegorical web intertwining elements of romance, crime fiction, and satire. Above all, it portrays human bewilderment and the chaos in which we are forced to live.
Readers of contemporary Catalan fiction who appreciate irony and genre blending.
